[QUOTE="tristan, post: 10780, member: 30"] thats something i don't like to see. afb 101. (assuming its honey for feeding back to the bees not empty frames) plus it would have been better in the hive, i'm assuming the other brood box is empty. honey in the hive, bit of pollen supplement if you can (tho its still rather warm so may be pulling in pollen), a bit of thin syrup to stimulate them. get breeding up and running for a bit, especially in this warm temps. get the bee number built up and most importantly well fed varroa free bees before weather cool down. the faster the recovery is now the higher chances of survival is. for the future. obviously you need better mite treatment. what will make this difficult is the amount of hives being poorly treated or abandoned at the moment. winter down the hive better. take off the supers early and let the bees pack stores into the brood. swap out frames if required. then you don't need to do anything over winter. also no honey for the hive being stored, no afb risk etc. nice and simple.
