Checked on the 4 hives and I had been a bit worried  when it was warm and saw no activity. What surprised me was that the Italian package didn't make it and while it was strong toward the end of summer it was the slowest to ramp up. The two Russian hives are with bees at the top and the survivor hive.

Will have to get some food for them just to be sure. The challenge will be the weather next week with an artic cold front coming Monday night.

See an update later.
