On july 31st hived an enormous swarm into new hive with foundation and one drawn comb. A week later had to add a super. Seemed to be doing well but inspecting on Sunday there were 3 combs of sealed honey in super along with unsealed nectar. Brood box had about 1/3rd of bees since last inspection. Queen was seen, no evidence of any Q cell production, but apart from a small amount of sealed stores on top corner of one frame, and a very small amount of unsealed nectar, no more than100 cells, the brood box is completely empty, no pollen or anything. 9 out of the 11 combs show that a large amount of brood has been reared. What to do now?
