Just as a follow-up for the folks who responded and any other newbies out
there... I checked the hive today, getting ready to follow George's advice
and put a frame of eggs/young larva from my other hive and found a modest
nest of very young larva. Looks like I did have a swarm and a new queen.
Thanks again for all the help.
