I was wondering how long it would take a strong hive to fill a drawn frame (front and back) during a good goldenrod flow. We have had good rainfall and the bees are working it. There is vacant field within 50 yards from the hives. About 5 acres.
Just trying to get an idea.
Thanks.
It depends on their agenda but reasonably, working with gusto I've had them fill and cap a complete medium in 5 days, so my guess would be a 1/2day or two.

Dave,
It depends on
colony strength
how much brood they are raising(I think 1 cell of honey to raise one larvae)
How early the temps rise in the morning to get out flying,
The weather!!
Real crap shoot ain't it? :-D :-D :-D
