If one weighs the entire hive, bees and all first thing in the morning before they start flying, one can then shake the bees out into or onto anything (or another hive) and then weigh the hive without the bees. The difference will be the weight of the bees. Would be nice to answer this question this summer. If someone is willing to do so, I'll do ditto here. -- Randy Oliver Grass Valley, CA www.ScientificBeekeeping.com *********************************************** The BEE-L mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software.
