This is a bit late, but I wanted to put in an entry for a hive check I did on 7-18. In a nutshell, hive A was in really good shape. Lots of capped honey in the top box and lots of bees coming and going. Hive B was not in as good a shape, but still had some capped brood in the top box and most of the frames had been drawn out.... Although not any capped honey to speak of. Hive C didn't really have much of any activity in the top box and hardly any of the frames had been drawn out.
At this point a decision was made that I'd need to come back and add feeders to hives B and C. Since I didn't take any honey from hive A, I'm just going to let them go with the honey they harvested themselves and forgo any feeding for now.
