Hi Pete & All

I have one hive permanently sitting on a platform scale in my yard.  I  
use it to determine the start, end and intensity of various flows &  
dearths.  When I want to estimate the weights of my other hives I take  
the Rebekah weight of each hive.  I multiply each of those weights by  
the full weight of the scale hive divided by the Rebekah weight of the  
scale hive.
