Hi, Friday night I had a bear get into my one surviving hive. I put it back together Sat am. The bees have been quite aggressive since that time. I went out today to see if I could find the queen. No luck, but I usually can't find her anyway. The hive is quite large. I checked for eggs, and could not see any, some larva forming. Should I re-queen as I am not sure if the bear attack killed the queen, since I do not see any 3 day old eggs for them to make their own queen?

Thanks
Cindy
