Both hives are weak going into fall, so I have been starting the 2:1 sugar syrup feeding. They are going through the sugar fast. Quite a few Mussolinis drowned in the feeder due to my being stupid and not noticing that a shim was propolized to the outer cover. There was enough space for them to sneak under the lid and drown in the syrup.This is not the most recent configuration: I removed both queen excluders and the top super from the left hive after the inspector came out. So both now have 4 boxes each. The entrance reducers are also in.
