I have a 12-frame nuc that got started pretty late (queen started laying around August 10), but it is looking pretty well-built up at this point, so I am hopeful. I have been feeding them all along with honey and then 2:1, and the current weight is 74 lbs (12 frames in 2 mediums, 6 over 6). I feel that I should stop feeding now so that they have time to cap all the stores, but does anyone have any thoughts about whether this is an OK weight going into winter?
