How does one determine the number of bees per people?
At this large number of individuals one can not possibly count all animals, therefore the numbers are estimated values. One counts 1,000 bees on a fully occupied honeycomb – two sides, thus 2.000; 10 honeycombs per trim (crate), times three trims, theoretically 60,000 one resulted in. However all honeycombs are not fully occupied, whereby one comes maximally on 55.000 individuals.
