Greetings!
We received the below message.  How would "you" answer his questions?

"I am an insurance adjuster and have a claim where 384 hives were loaded on a
truck that rolled over. We have no idea how to establish a value or find a
replacement cost on these hives. We don't want to cheat the man that owns them
because we are Bee Ignorant. I am asking for anyone that could help me to give
us a reply. The hives weighed about 115 lbs each and were 2 story. They were
95/8 " high. He says they had about 60lbs of honey in each.

What do we ask?
Where can we find an average cost or value?
Is there a registry of any type where people register their hives and the
quality?"

Kind regards,
Herb/Norma
