> I do try to keep them in a "boiling" brood box, single size for as long as
possible, by taking frames with bees/brood/reserves. I end up adding the
honey harvest+queens+nucs+new families for the yearly production figures.
queen 1 kg of honey
4 frame nuc 4 kg of honey
single 9 kg of honey
I use the early spring number of colonies for calculating seasonal average.
