> there are right at 3500 bees per pound. That's the same number
that's been thrown around since the 1950's.
I have always reckoned bees in a swarm at 4,500 to the pound - can't
remember which book that came from. They should be heavier at that stage as
they are carrying honey with them.
Best wishes
