I know this may sound rude but a colony of 200,000 bees is extreamly uncommon. Therefore, how could it even be possible to have 310 times that amount. Sorry but I think you are off by 61,938,000.
He started early in the morning andspent all day counting the bees as they came in. |

Even if he was counting all day at 100 bees a second that would take 630,000 seconds and there are only 86,400 seconds in a 24 hour period. (I love math  ) |

Grass clippings from a lawn mower that are getting a little brown make a great thick smoke to remove tons of bees, had to use it on my friends hive. |

He only counted the bees comming in, he didn't subtract the bees going out! |

As far as the burr comb, or a beautifully drawn piece of wild comb, I cut it, give it one good rap to dislodge the bees,(I look it over carefully for a queen first) and chuck it out in the yard. They clean it up pretty fast. I guess I never got the knack of a bee brush. Maybe if I bought one, I could learn.

I have a bee brush and never use it. Man, when I don't use my bee brush, I end up killing a bunch of bees when I but down the inner and outer covers. |

see your all wrong he has bar codes on each one of his bees and a small bar code scanner on the entry way that says exit so it scans all the bees exiting  |
