I have a full hive, two deeps and one super. Today I added a top hive feeder and added 2:1 sugar water. Not really sure if I need it but since bees drank all the sugar water from the hummingbird feeder, I think they'll like it!
The super isn't full yet. I will probably leave it on this winter to supplement honey stores below. The top deep was pretty full of capped and uncapped honey so if there's no robbing, I hope there will be enough.
I also added a mouse guard with duct tape to close off the entrance a little...again to help bees protect against robbing.
Otherwise, things looked good. I am anxious to do an oxalic acid treatment and hope to do that within a week or two.
