From the look of it (I wasn't there) this is truly an early spring brood frame--there's no honey tucked in the corners of the frame--they're raising the new bees in a comb that has been totally emptied over the course of the winter. They make for really solid patterns in April :)

I like this one :)) Did you sprinkle pollen around the bee to help set the scene? Emerging bees in March is good!!!

Hi Paul! I hope the bees your first bees are doing well this winter--I am still looking at the extended forecast waiting for some nicer temperatures so that we can figure out the status of ours too. It's snowing again :) What a winter! Good luck with the queen-raising--I think you'll find it's pretty fascinating. Stay in touch!

I too am anxious for weather the bees can fly in, I am counting the days until spring when I can open them up and see them again. I keep bees just outside Homestead Iowa, and I am going into my 2nd year with them, I am going to start raising Queens this year to learn the process.

Hola Alejandro---primero hay que decir que no soy hablante nativo--pero voy contestarle lo mejor que puedo.

Presumo que vive ahora en los Estados Unidos y eso es la razon por preguntar por las materias para hacer colmenas en contraste con lo usual en Argentina. Si busque informacion basica sobre las materias que usamos en la apicultura de norteamerica, le recomiendo que visite estos sitios:

It is also possible to give them a new queen with a couple of frames of her own brood and bees.
