All six of my hives are full of brood. They were nucs and came with a frame of honey but now the honey is gone. Should i give them sugar syrup? And where did the honey go?

Give them sugar water and another box to store honey in. It takes 4 frames of nectar to make a frame of honey. They can't make it if they don't have room.

Yes, give them 1:1 until you put on your honey supers or they stop taking the syrup.  -Mike
