North Hive Inspection

As usual the North hive is doing awesome. The upper (fourth) box of 8-frame mediums was completely packed with honey. I didn't see a single egg or larva, though I didn't take all the frames out. This hive is clearly doing great. Four mediums is what I hoped to over winter in, so I put on a queen excluder and another box. I need to find out if I can take a few frames of honey off and extract to have something for Christmas presents, and if they should get enough for winter out of the fall flow.
