Hi Jerry,

The overall objective is to provide myself with a tool to compare and anticipate the potential capacity of different hive designs.


A lot of influencing factors have been mentioned.    These are valid factors, however, for the sake of estimation, I'm comfortable settling on a few critical dimensions, and assuming other factors are equally unequal.  


By pure chance, I came across some references this morning regarding Eva Crane doing similar comparisons using Hive volume as a metric.     

I was hoping there would be a methodology a little less blunt, but this will be adequate for my purposes.


Thank you to everyone who has responded.

The question I've not seen answered, what is the overall objective of  
trying  to harmonized estimates of hive capacity?
