For the record, this is how the math teacher determines how many pints are in the bottling bucket.
The volume of a cylinder: volume =Pi * radius squared * height.
Volume answer is in cubic inches...google for table of "cubic inches to pints" conversion.
The radius of our bottling bucket is 5.5 inches.
Another measurement of this harvest: the bees filled their top deep and two supers with honey. We harvested from the two supers (small boxes): five frames from one, six frames from the other.
We put the supers back on the hives, including five partially filled frames. At least a couple of the frames we returned to the bees had capped honey on one side and uncapped honey on the other side.
