Well, I think I just spent an hour or more confirming my first impression 
unless there is something I missed.  The edits at 
http://www.honeybeeworld.com/diary/articles/hygienic_test.htm gave me a good 
look.

Some hives seemed to have older queens and there were some toxicity or 
disease problems with some combs.  Some hives look to be somewhat challenged 
generally.  I did not see much change from one shot to the next, and all 
seemed to remove the marked groups except hive twelve, which missed a few.

I think also that you have too much paint on your hives, that they are too 
neatly marked... and they are too level. It is well known that bees prefer 
old, tattered equipment leaning at crazy angles, and that any markings be in 
crayon or pencil -- and illegible.
