Abstract	A quantification of the number of adult worker Apis meltifera L. found on combs of standard sizes at full holding capacity is reported. Estimating the holding capacity of combs can assist in evaluating honey-bee colonies for pollination capabilities and also for honey-production potentials This article is the copyright property of the Entomological Society of America and may not be used for any commercial or other private purpose without specific written permission of the Entomological Society of America.
