Bad year for bees

Well it's no secret that this year has been bad for bees. I've already lost one colony, and the others don't look good. One hive I thought had failed actually has a small cluster of bees. The other was a small cluster to begin with and is tiny now. So, one down, one ok-ish and two very small colonies going into winter.
I'm feeding fondant in the hope that will get them through the winter....if I have at least one hive left by spring I will be happy.
