Hi All

2 days ago I installed bee escapes on my hives.  One of the hives was  
my scale hive.  I balanced the scale before I removed the supers @  
373 #.  After removing one deep and 3 mediums, the scale balanced @  
145#, I then replaced the supers on top of the bee escape board.  The  
4 supers therefore weighed 228# including wooden ware, bees and  
honey.  Today I removed the supers to the extracting room and the  
difference before and after was 216#.  Could 12# of bees have been in  
those supers?  I forget how many bees in a pound.
