Yep same here 40kgs minimum is what I aim for hopefully by the start of October.My colonies with the same set up weighed nearly 40 Kg a month or so ago.
Looking at the board
Signs that a comb of stores has gone or seriously dented.
The brood appears to be at the back of the hive if that batten is the rear of the board, that's a bit strange.
If the super was a full one and the colony is as small as it looks and desperate for stores, perhaps being robbed.
Maybe it would have been better off in a nuc
I can honestly say none of my hives has ever weighed 88lbs for Winter.
I had said 9+ kgs or 15 Litres of 2:1 but the syrup feeding then obviously got to late.40lbs is approx 10kg too light
