Beekeeping: winding down for fall

So in an effort to bolster our hives as much as we can before we let them go on their own until spring, we are starting to feed some of our weaker hives. We are  going with jar-feeders instead of traditional hive-top feeders. 
We put these on in the morning, and by this evening they had drained about half of the sugar syrup. We also have some pollen patties on the struggling hives 

Stay tuned for the next phase: sugar boards.
