A beekeeper checks his hives in late October and finds the weather unusually warm. Some nucleus colonies look light on stores, so he recommends extra feeding and leaving hive cracks open for ventilation as winter approaches.

So it's nearly November, uh, it's not cold, it's pretty warm today. Some of the nucs are a little bit light. Just pop around and give them an extra feed. This is what the bees are doing here, they're just making sure all the cracks are open.
