Stinging tyres?! Just imagine 800,000 of them, I watched a doc on AHBs and they just poured out of a hole cut into a wall and kept coming. They were still attacking after the beekeepers were 1/2 mile away. So glad we don't have them here......yet!

Woo serious stuff. My guys, think they have the " Mother Theresa " gene... Can sit a couple of feet away from the entrance with only the odd guard fulfilling his duties

.
15 000 - 20 000 bees fill one Langstroth box. 800 000 / 20 000 ~ 40 boxes.
