Thanks for the replys....Let me clarify what I was trying to say but 
probably didnt make clear at all:

There comes a particular point in  time in the beehive where there exists 
the maximum brood/eggs  of any time of the year...this will be later/earlier 
of course depending on the environmental conditions etc.
In your experience or knowledge, what is the maximum amount of brood/eggs 
(inches or cm.  squared) that exists at that point in time...also what is a 
"rough" average in your experience for the amount of brood/eggs at that same 
point in time.
I know the second figure will be a rough guess..thats OK....However I would 
think the first figure would be fairly well known.
I just read an article by Steve Tabor( sp?) in ABJ saying he found a maximum 
of  much as 900 in2 of sealed brood in certain locations...apparently he 
didnt include eggs in his estimate.

Thanks for your replys again.

John Horton
