So I followed HP's instructions this morning and shook all the bees out through a queen excluder. They didn't all go through it as well as I expected them to, but with them all spread out and carefully inspecting each frame before I shook it, I'm quite sure there was no queen in there. However, I did find a capped queen cell. I sort of treated that queen cell as if it was a queen and followed those instructions, so I put all the bee-less frames in the hive back on its stand and shook out the bees into the woods a good ways away from the apiary. Also, sort of on instinct, I gave the LW hive a frame of eggs and young brood from another hive without shaking all the bees off it, in the hopes that the open brood will help and perhaps little boost of normal adult workers will too. I also dusted the LW hive with powdered sugar before closing it up to help with fighting between the added bees and returning foragers, and also because Oldbeavo recommended it. So now my question is this: when should I check on them again? If it was a normal situation, I'd wait 3 weeks for the queen to start laying, but I'm not sure I should do that since the LWs could get out of hand again in that time frame. What do you recommend?
