I was pleased yesterday when I went into my hive. It looks like I will have some honey after all. One of the supers has several frames of honey so I moved that one to the top and the fairly empty super under it so they can begin to work on that one. I doubt they'll have time to do much with the lower super given it's mid-September, but maybe they will if we have a warm autumn.
Meanwhile I decided to feed them again because I want them to have enough honey and food to last the winter. Later on in the year, I'll swap out the syrup with fondant, like I did last year. That seemed to help winter them over...at least that's my hope.
