Should I still use sugar water?
I installed two nucs in mid May. Both are doing well. One is doing very well and I added a second medium box (I'm using all mediums) because 8 of 10 frames were drawn out. The second seems healthy but not as active. I left that hive at one box. I removed the top feeders on both a week ago as they seemed to be going through less than a gallon a week in both hives. Should I let the bees forage for themselves or keep top feeders on longer?

As a first year BEEK you should feed to build out foundation. If the nectar flow is on they will go for the nectar, Just feed a quart mason jar at a time That way when the flow stops they will still have the sugar water.
