Re: How many Lbs in this swarm?
I don't know about pounds, but I count 54,326 bees , not including the three queens.
Do I win the prize?

You lose!!! The actual count is 54,328 bees, no cigar for you. As a consolation prize you win an order of french fries from Chubby Chucks Chicken if you can find us this month when we're on the road.Allen Dick wrote:I don't know about pounds, but I count 54,326 bees , not including the three queens.

An update on this swarm. I put them in 2 boxes with nothing but frames with foundation, not only have they completely drawn comb in both boxes, they also filled a super with honey. These girls are keepers!
