Bees by the Pound in Beekeeping Packages
About 5000 bees per pound and two pound packages are most popular for beginners. Some prefer three pounds for faster buildup but an apiarist says two pound packs build up and store honey as well. If bees are young and transport loss is small, two pounds suffice to support brood and colony growth.
Temporary Pastures and Seed Rates For Spring Work
Prairie Farmer advises seeding two bushels per acre of wheat for a good early summer pasture. Heavily seed oats three to four bushels to provide feed through June to August if fall is sufficient. Sudan grass is dependable for multisummer pasture. Seed after corn to have pasture by July and seed until frost. If sowing alfalfa clover or grass with oats or wheat, pasturing the grain crop helps the seeding. Reduce grain seed when grass and clovers are mixed.
