One queen gone, other not working

So I have two hives currently, one was a well established hive, the other was a recent swarm catch.

The first hive (well established) recently swarmed (quite unexpectedly) my neighbour told me that she’d seen it when I got home from work. I checked the hive 6 queen charged cells, none in great positions. So left them to do their thing.

Second hive has a small swarm that was caught recently (12 days ago) the queen isn’t laying yet, but the hive seem happy enough (drawing comb, coming back with pollen)

Now my concern is we are two weeks in and there seems to be a lot of drone in the first hive and no sign of a queen (all queen cells empty, no new eggs, no larvae of any size, no capped brood, and I’ve not seen the queen) the second hive doesn’t appear to be laying at all.

My question is what should I do?

Okay, so for better or worse, a swarm landed in the garden next to mine while I was installing a window, obviously in my excitement I stopped fitting the window so now I have an open hole in the wall of my garage. I quickly knocked together a dummy nuke out of some planks I had around and went and caught my first swarm.

I’ve left it underneath the tree for now. I found the queen and put her in a queen clip.

I’m gonna move it over to my garden this evening once I’m sure all the bees have come down from the tree as there were still a few buzzing around there after I caught them.

I’ve ordered a new hive that should be here in a couple of days which I’ll transfer me into. It was a relatively small swarm from what I’ve seen.

So I’m sure I’m in for telling off from somebody. So give me your criticism I’m ready.

Hey, I’ve had this bug for a few weeks now where a lot of my characters skins have disappeared, I can still equip whichever is the main highlight, but can’t swap them (not for all but some) I figure is a bug, just wanted to see if this has happened to anyone else or if I should raise a ticket (or however we do in BF6) in case it’s just a me problem
