>>I'd say they are 3-5 frames, but the only day I looked for brood it was limited to 1-2 frames. [...] I make splits around April 20.
Thank you, Lloyd. This is in line with my build-up estimates.
>>difference between our 'inland' climate here, and your
coastal climate on Long Island. Our USDA climate zone is 4, while I think yours is 6.
I think we are borderline 6. The ocean is a big moderator but occasionally we get hit by arctic blasts. We have had bee-flying weather for roughly 3 days. (We have had snow on the ground for weeks and subzero temps.) And already I sees foragers coming back with brown, orange, and green pollen. A sure sign build-up will take off like wild fire.
