Checked all bees at Vineyard and  Jayna's gardens. Fed them all half-and-half sugar and one cup of granulated sugar. Also fed one hive at home.

Fed orchard bees. They seem healthy and active. Will need to replace top cover on one and paint the other before next spring. Weak hive at home. Not sure if robbing is going on or just the minimal hive moving to and fro.
Video is from healthy home hive. Can't believe the weather. Enjoying while we can.
