I sound a little crazy, and a little tired...because I am!
But I'm also thrilled that the bees are staying strong and protecting their queen. Ive been feeding them to try to help them prepare for the the dark and cold winter days to come.
Bee prayers continue.

Very little sunlight making it to the path.
Autumn is beautiful, but a little chilly for the š as the sun sets earlier every day.
When there's not much nectar for the bees to find, bees may raid - and rob - another hive. Fall can be a tough season for the bees - and their beekeepers.
