[log in to unmask] asks about brood nest size after removing Apistan
strips.

Unfortunately he gave no location, hence it's pretty tough to give a proper
answer.  In upstate NY at this time of year I wouldn't expect to see much
brood at all.  Thhere may be a few capped cells from the last cycle, but at
this point the queen will not be laying, and stages of brood/ developing
larvae will be absent.

Observations will also vary with race; Italians may have brood still, NWC
definitely will not.
