August 3, 2015 Week 16 - One hive strong, one weak

Hive one is great - 3 full boxes of honey, 4th box is filling as well and I do not have windows on the 5th or 6th box so I cannot see inside.
Lots of bees going in and out.

Hive two is feeble - top box getting some honey, second box still filling with comb - it doesn't seem to have changed in the past month, for goodness sake!!  Very few bees going in and out compared to Hive one.

Here are photos and a video from mid-July of Hive 2 showing a swarm cell (that is a cell that contains the new queen - also called supercedure I believe) - it looks like a peanut:
