8th Hive inspection and a major problem

We appear not to have a queen. In the last inspection, we found and marked the queen. Today, in addition to not seeing the queen, we have no eggs and no larvae. There is still capped brood and a lot of honey, but the population is way down. The hive has swarmed and since we don’t see evidence of a new queen, we either have a virgin or the new lady of the hive is still out on a mating flight. I have arranged for a more seasoned beekeeper to bring a new nuc and an inspection and see if he finds any evidence of a new queen. If only I’d heard the, you should start with two hives advice after I ordered my first nuc.
