Here we are, the leafs are turning yellow. The temperature during the day is bellow 70’s. I still have this “high-rise” hives with 7 stories. I just put them back about 6 weeks ago after I extracted. Next weekend I am planning on inspecting them, first time since extraction. What should I do? Pull out 2-3 supers? If I do and they have honey, can I keep them without extracting, and where, and how? I also have 4 hives 2 deeps or 3 mediums from the swarms and cut-outs (after I already combined them down from 9 colonies). I assume these guys need feeding. Could you please help me plan my next weekend?
Thanks
Daniel

I'd pull all the empties and leave all the ones they are filling. If there appears to be a dearth and they are light, then pull them all and feed.
