I'm a little slow this morning.  I was surprised to see a 170 lb result and
should have doubted it, but I liked what I saw and sent it on.

(It's so human to accept obvious misinformation that pleases us.)

I should have realised that the 170 lbs was over _four_ years and gives a
43-lb average.  That is much more in line with my expectations since I
was splitting as often as the bees would stand it.

Let's hope that Dee is a better mathematician than I was when she gives
us her averages.  Maybe she should just give us the number of drums
per year and the number of hives she recons produced them.
