About 5,500 bees....!
1500
Most bee keeping suppliers report that a 3 pound package contains 10000 - 12000 bees, or 3,333 & 4000 per pound.
Approx. 4500 bees make a pound.
10 million, but first they have to do it
do bees have scale or not
I believe this may be a trick question. Number of bees would depend on how much weight it takes to tip the scale at all. So the answer could be as few as one honey bee, if the scale is sensitive enough to register her weight as 0.14 grams. On the other hand, it would take about 3,333 honey bees to equal one pound of weight. This is based on the fact that there are roughly 10,000 bees in a three-pound package.
A beekeeper who keeps bees on a commercial scale would be known as a bee farmer.
Bees and other insects are needed for pollination. If there are no bees pollination would be limited, so no fruit and vegetables for humans.
honey bees are not just any bee
Apiculture
Bees tend to forage within a few hundred yards of the hive, and they produce wax; they don't harvest it.
Well that depends on the weight of each individual bee, which may vary, also on weather they are male or female, but on average for a honey bee worker would be about 4,800 bees.
The bees, which are found in the hives. For wax needed for a quest, on bird isle there is a lady who make it.
