I was checking on the weaker hive today. It is way behind the other hive---the queen bee has definitely not been as productive as the hive needed. They were still in a single super and very little progress has been made. We'll have to decide whether we think they can make it through the winter.... A stray bee entered the hive and several other bees attacked and killed it. You can see the dead bee on the floor of the hive and the resident bees are preparing to remove it from the hive. 
This the bee activity in the weaker hive. Only a few of the frames have been filled in. We're hoping they can really get going for the rest of the summer and fall.
