That is up to you. If you wan honey, take 6 frames and extract them, then rearrange the hive with 2 feames of honey on each side, and the 6 empty frames in the middle. As dry as it has been though, I would be inclined to leave them filled so they have something to eat. In the end, it will be a choice you have to make.
