> A deep Langstroth frame, with standard foundation, 70% filled with brood, contains 43,108 cells of brood.
This would be an estimate for an entire 10 frame BOX, not a (single) deep frame, of course.
But it is agreed that "wall to wall brood" is a rarity, as the queen that can lay so well is an outlier. I never ran any deeps, as "Friends Don't Let Friends Lift Deeps", but I was always compressing 3 mediums of bees (equivalent to roughly "2 deeps") into 2 mediums when I put comb supers on, and there was never a problem with having a brood area that exceeded 20 medium frames by the time the blooms started.
