Busy Late Summer Hive

Mid September and busy, busy hive. Click "play" to see and hear the commotion. Opened everything up today, too. Both supers are nearly fully capped. Looks like I'll harvest next week. Unfortunately, I saw varroa mites for the first time. Once I harvest the honey, I'll see how bad the infestation is and take corrective action. I hope the coloney won't be so weakened it can't survive the winter.
