There is plenty of honey in #2, mostly in the top box. There was a small patch of sealed brood on one frame in the top box, just as there was in #1; this was worker brood, however.
In the bottom box there were 3 or 4 frames with capped brood. I did not spot the queen nor see any larvae, but I am certain that I saw an egg. So I will optimistically conclude that #2 is also queenright.
Since the small swarm seemed to come from one of these hives, it looks like the bees knew what they were doing.... as usual.
