I noted, on another forum, where a poster reckoned that some of their colonies still have 5+ frames of brood, even now.
Anyone else finding this?
Strikes me that unless they are double brooded, it may mean there are only a few frames in the brood box with stores. I would certainly hope there is a full super above at least, or there may be a high risk of isolation starvation if the winter is severe.
I hope none of mine have that much brood. So is there anyone out there, in that position with some of their colonies?
