>In most studies that I've seen, the low point of broodrearing is in late
Nov, and generally picks up in early Dec

In three of my four hives (carniolans), the first fresh wax particles fell
on the bottom board around 10 december, indicating the closing of brood. At
the end of december I found the first cell cappings.
I treated with oxalic acid on december 1, but this was probably not the
trigger to start laying.. ;-)
