In version 6 BinCounts is now an function.

Otherwise the result of Histogram is a Graphics object, the bins can  
be obtained from the parameters to the Rectangle expressions in that  
that object which can be obtained as follows:

<< Graphics`Graphics`
<<Statistics`NormalDistribution`
obj = Histogram[RandomArray[NormalDistribution[], 100]];
bins=Cases[obj, Rectangle[__], Infinity]/.Rectangle[{l_, b_}, {r_,  
t_}] -> {l, r}
