Dave Cushman has a nice visual representation
of "number of bees on a frame" for "British
Standard" frames, which appear to be about 8.5
inches deep and about 13 inches wide.
With a little math and imagination, you can convert
the images to equivalent areas on whatever frame size(s)
you use.

But "British Standard"? I guess that's a little
like calling the Whitworth tools I need for 1950s
and older MGs "standard". The neat thing about
"Standards" in beekeeping is that there are so many
different ones to chose from! :)
