Hi everyone, need your help.
I want to try a new "poison" on my bees to control nosemosis.
The poison (which I won't tell the name) leaflet says 40 ml per kg of live
animal (we are talking pigs in this case).
I know for each of my hives how many frames with bees.

The question is how to guestimated the weight of each cluster proportional
to the frames with bees.
If a bee weight 100 mg and we have 30000 of them in a standard box with 10
frames, therefore we have 3 kg of live animal.
The volume of that box (rounding) will be 40x50x30 = 60000 cubic
centimetres, right?
therefore there are 0,00005 kg/cm3 on that big cluster.
Now, the volume of a sphere is 4/3 x Pi x r3 , therefore for that standard
box r= 24,2859 cm for 10 frames
or' 2,42859 PER FRAME ?
following the above suposition
Frames w/Bees cm3 kg/animal 2 480 0,024 3 1620 0,081 4 3840 0,192 5
7500 0,375 6 12960 0,648 7 20580 1,029 8 30720 1,536 9 43740 2,187 10
60000 3,000
what I am doing wrong?
