Stocking the Mating Hives<br />
In stocking the mating hives it is best to take them from an outyard as they<br />
do not have to be confined so long. We do not weigh the bees but measure<br />
them instead. We have what we call our bee hopper. It is four and one half<br />
inches wide. The bottom is covered with galvanized iron. A scoop is made<br />
just wide enough to reach across the inside of the hopper. For the five frame<br />
hives we use about a pound and a half of bees.<br />
