On Sept 1st, we removed the remaining supers and fed the bees three pails of syrup. On Sept 4th I removed the syrup pails. Today, the 17th, I counted mites...27 of them! That's by far the most I've ever seen in my years of doing this.
The top box should have 8 frames full of honey, and one partial in the center. Ours currently has 5-6 full frames. The center box should have 4 frames of honey...ours has none. Most of them are empty, have a little bit of honey, or are full of brood.
I ordered some Apivar strips from Amazin, $39.95 for a 10 pack, arriving tomorrow!
