I have 8 hives, 7 of which are doing great....The one that isn't was started late April from a local nuc, new queen. It had 5 deeps fully drawn when I got it. now it has, well, maybe 5 1/2 frames drawn. Scattered brood, some stores. I kept thinking it would catch up, but it just never did. Now my flow is (pretty much) over and I have little hope for them overwintering. What is my best course of action?
Pinch the queen and let them requeen?
Combine?
Close my eyes and hope for the best?
