Since the story mentioned Sergio the beekeeper, I assumed it was his estimate.

You are right, there should have been an attribution there. Good catch.

But as I stated in my post, my five questions were just off the top of my head. If I had been editing for real, there would have been more, no doubt about it.

But hey, I’m just a broken-down, old-school newspaperman.

Roughly 4000 honey bees per pound, 250 per oz.
