I did a cut out and I have one full 10 frame deep of Brood,bees,honey, pollen
I also vacuumed at least 6 lb.s of bees :shock:
this all happened the other night worked until
the sunset,know the next day would be Iffy weather wise
I left the hive with brood under the Mobile Home to let the remaining bees move in.
We had storms all day and No way to get them,so I left the hive put.
I have the container of bees with a top feeder on it.
My plans are to make 2 colonies out of the vacuum box(6 lbs)

But what is the approx weight of bees in a double 10 Deep hive?

Also Do you think I am thinning them too much putting 3 lbs in a hive with new Queen
These bees were not friendly AT ALL so re-queening ASAP


Thanks
Tommyt
