The bees are going gangbusters – and there are *lots* of them, even now. Shedloads, in fact.

One shedload = heaps and heaps
Heaps = buckets and buckets
Bucket = armfulls
Armfull = dozens of handfulls
Handfull = about this much

The linear equivalent of a handfull is a piece of string, or a fisherman’s pike.
