The plastic hive overwintered with a large number of bees into the spring. There are brood frames present in both top and bottom boxes. Several frames of eggs present in both boxes. This hive is prime for a split. The number of bees was very high. Four frames of resources and brood were moved to the top of the 2stack NUC box. The queen was found and moved with the split. This leaves the plastic hive queenless but with a full frame of eggs and 2 full frames of brood along with several frames of resources.
