How many honey bees does it take to weigh a lb?

I believe this may be a trick question. Number of bees would depend on how much weight it takes to tip the scale at all. So the answer could be as few as one honey bee, if the scale is sensitive enough to register her weight as 0.14 grams.

On the other hand, it would take about 3,333 honey bees to equal one pound of weight. This is based on the fact that there are roughly 10,000 bees in a three-pound package.
