The U of MD states that there are 300 bees in 0.42 cups.

They are not firmly packed, or just poured in, but settled with a couple of raps on something solid. And presumably this would be "normal" bees, not "Dee's Bees" that have been artificially reduced in size.

0.42 cups = 300 bees

1 Gallon [Fluid, US] = 16 Cups [US]

 (300/.42) * 16 = 11,428 Bees per US Gallon

Average worker bee weighs 90 milligrams 11,428 * .090 = 1029 grams per US Gallon;

453.59237 grams per Pound (on Earth at Sea Level) (1/453.59237) * 1029 = 2.268 Pounds per Gallon


Yes, I used to be an engineer!
