I was examining two hives at an outyard today
and noticed something strange.  Two weeks
ago, both hives had one almost completely
capped super of honey each.  At that time I
added a second empty super to each.  Today,
one hives supers were completely empty and
the other hives supers were both full.  Both
hives were given new queens over a month ago,
but the one with the empty supers superceded
and I gave them another new queen.  This hive
was queenless for about a week each time I
requeened it.  Could this be the reason why the
honey was moved down from the super?  ( from
lack of brood)

Any comments would be appreciated
