I still have about 18 to treat and I hope to do them at the weekend.
10-11 frames is really strong. I think my strongest are on about 7 frames.
Mine overwinter with small clusters most years, probably 5-6 is average and this year a wee bit smaller.
You can get a 2 frame colony through the winter with a bit of TLC but you won't get any spring produced honey from it.
what temperature was it today? the clusters open up quite a bit when it is mild.
