Guy,
    I'm pretty sure that the 50 was an typo error.  I "think" that five
pounds would be more than adequate.  In fact, with the concerance of others
on this list I think just a couple of pounds with a sealed hive would be
more than adequate to terminate the colony in that hive.  What think you
others?
