<p></p><div dir="ltr">I was going to write this message to Jim Cane but wonder how many other people might be interested in answering the question or sharing the answers? A hive of commercial honeybees sits in the same, midwestern site 12 months of the year. In a normal year how much nectar and how much pollen will it consume from the surrounding vegetation? Are there published references to this calculation? Wax cells containing pollen can be weighed but what does one do about nectar? Bees reduce the water in nectar to make honey so how much dilute nectar is gathered prior to concentration as honey? This will make a nice "gee whiz" statistic for my students.<div><br></div><div>Peter </div></div>
