What to do?
Started with 2 hives.
Made 2 splits.
Caught a swarm from one original hive.
Now I have a hive that has already produced a medium fulll of capped honey
and going great. I removeed this super and added ross round supers (2).
Next to it is a hive (1 deep, 1 med) full of bees and honey. No brood eggs
or larva so , I guess, no queen.
Should I requeen or combine the two hives and if so what is the right way to
do it?
Two of the other hives are in the same shape. I am going to the 5th now. If
I find another queenless hive, I may really go for a 5th. These queenless
hives are mean. They sent me to get gloves and long pants. I tried to stay
in there but I guess I'm not as tough as I like to think.
Thanks for any help, I feel like I need to do something very soon.

BTW. 1queenless hive was left after a swarm and had queen cells and brood. I
left it to raise its own queen. No luck there.
The other queenless hive was given a new queen that I thought had been
accepted. Guess not.
