fall flow questions?

Is the fall flow over? My bees are still active and I see some wild flowers and such.

why? I have two honey supers besides the food stores and I guess should spin these two supers and start to feed.

thanks for the answers. This year I did not have much honey int he spring but these two supers are now full...

The Fall flow has begun but not over.
The flow I am counting on involves Aster which has not yet started.

What are others seeing in regards to the fall flow? I am guessing that it was not very good based on the weight of my hives? I will start with hive top feeding today!!

Hello Ron,

Three weeks before the honey supers were at 80%. After I asked the question they had consumed all but 20% so I guess there was not much flow. I started feeding after I saw that.

call me crazy but I don't want to lose any hives by starving them.
