Removed bottom boxes Week 23

The local beekeepers group from Hastings came out to see my hives. We opened the weaker hive but Tom says it has plenty of bees and the capped honey looks good, so we removed the bottom empty box and I will keep feeding them.

That was on Sept 19 and today Sept 21, the bees were bringing in lots of orange pollen.

We also removed the bottom two empty boxes on the stronger hive, so it is 4 boxes deep.

Here are photos from this weekend - bees still on the goldenrod:
