Not much honey overall this year, but lots of bees. Each colony needs lots of bees in the fall cluster to keep things warm until spring. Every time I open a box and see it full of bees instead of just a few frames of bees, I am very, very happy.
The hive with the yellow super seems to have quite a bit of honey in it. Maybe the long hive with the orange super, too. They get to keep their honey this year. I'll take the empty supers off the hives next month and put candy on the hives.. That way everyone has plenty of feed for the winter. Just in case.
