9/23/09: Resumed feeding for remaining hive

Just a note to say I resumed feeding the other hive on 9/23/09.

Also made a stop at the beekeeper shop on 9/29/09 to pick up:
1) Fumagillin B (for Nosema treatment)
2) Pro-Health (similar to Honey Bee Healthy, recommended by many experienced beekeepers and touted as "vitamins for your bees")
3) another screened-bottom board
4) more foundation pins
5) a replacement veil for Bud

Hoping to do at least one more thorough inspection on a warm fall day where we:
1) Replace the existing solid bottom board
2) Remove any empty frames and reduce hive size for overwintering and relocation
3) Powdered sugar dust for varroa control?
4) Feed sugar with Pro-Health and Fumagillin B
