Hello everyone,

     I'd like to know what the optimum colony size in number of frames is for wintering.  What is too large and what is too small?  Also, how many frames do you usually end up with in the spring before the first pollen flows?  Please indicate where you live, if you use pollen sub, supplemental feeding, and what strain of bees you have.  Thank you.

     Josh Jaros
