Two of my hives are behaving like the have in previous Autumns. The queen is slowing her laying down having gone down from 8 frames a month ago to 3 and brood frames are filling with honey, it has gone from one frame full of capped honey to three in two weeks. They have plenty of super space.
I though they might be preparing to swarm so I have been checking closely and no sign in either hive.
The other hive in the same location is still fully laid up and filling supers quickly.
Anyone else seeing similar?
