Finally, finally managed to find time to inspect the hives fully rather than the previous Jericho efforts.
As I thought, one hive failed to make it through the winter - except, of course, it was not the hive I was expecting...
Judging from the remains of the cluster, the colony that died was not large enough to keep warm. There were stores near-by, the comb etc looked healthy. The surviving colony already has many, many more bees.
