I started my last round of inspections yesterday. Normally my inspecting would be over by now, but we have had some unseasonably warm weather this fall. I gave a couple of hives a few extra frames of honey since I had them. One of my colonies, which was looking quite nice last inspection, now has very low population. I was thinking about combining them with my other weak colony, but their mite count was VERY high. I'll probably just treat them and hope they make it through the winter on their own. Even with the mites taken care of, I'd be worried about them spreading viruses to the other bees if I combine them.
