Kirk-o, did it appear that the hive was probably a late swarm? How much brood comb was there?

Yeah, I've been seeing a lot of this myself. Most hives don't have much stores. Hoping for a good fall flow so all the girls will be happy and taken care of. Good luck with the new hive.

Sounds like the same problem I'm finding.  Lots of flowers but very little nectar.  On 1 hive I inspected there was only pollen and brood and the brood was spotty.  I figured the bees had began eating the pupae for nurishment.  Needless to say I'm now feeding all my hives to build up stores as the other 3 weren't that much better off.
