200-300 bees is standard. In a pint jar about 1" deep. You may count the
bees in the first couple samples you take to get a feel for how many you
are geting. To get the bees in the jar, hold the comb at about 45
degrees with the bees you want on the bottom side. Start at the lower
edge holding the jar opening almost paralell to the comb and scoop them
into the jar. Of course make sure you don't scoop the queen. Close the
hive and step back a few yards before using the ether and you will
avoide some stinging.
