You might be able to go year round in Orlando, NeverResting, but you'll have the most success March through November. You won't get much egglaying in Dec-Feb (if any), but if you have an active colony going into that time, they will over-winter okay. Their metabolic rate and growth will slow - along with their appetite - so you probably won't harvest many during winter. In late Feb when the daily highs are hitting 78-80 is a good time to start up a new bin. By mid to late March, they should be rocking and rolling!
Thank you I'll start one in February. I'll utilize the winter to increase my tank size and fish population. Then I'll worry the BSFL bin
