The Pictures that follow are to a scale of 1 pixel per mm and depict BS Standard brood frames. These drawings show bees in the numbers stated on combs that have the sealed brood quantities similar to those on the related page. The regularity that occurs in some of the patterns of bees is a factor due to the drawing process and is not significant.
