I wouldn't be concerned. As long as there is enough brood to make it through the winter, they will be fine. If you need to swap frames of brood to boost the weaker one, you can. But I wouldn't worry. You don't always get honey from every hive every season.
What are the genetics of the hive? If they are hygienic or feral that might explain why there are no varroa. How have you been keeping on your mite counts?
