Garry,
        Don't fret bud. Take a frame of eggs from one of the other colonies,
shake the bees free over top of the colony so that fall back home and
quickly ( don't rush we just don't want to chill the eggs) place it into
the colony you can't find eggs. Place an empty frame back into the donor
colony to keep up the 10 frames. If the queen is present they will
develop normally. If she is not, they will draw emergency cells.
        Of course, if you ordered the bees with a marked queen this is an
excellent time to learn how to spot her.
        Keep feedin' sugar water until they will take no more and consider a
pollen supplement.
Tell us where you are and maybe someone is familiar with a beekeeper or
club in your area.
