Anyone in the neighborhood that can take a look tomorrow for Konrad and Tonya?

Hi all,

We are new be keepers and are having "challenges" with our two hives. When we checked our hives at one week, one looked good with new comb development, but we didn't put in frame were queen cage was. the other hive looked a little empty and we were able to get the extra frame in.

1)We just checked them today and found the "empty-ish" hive still pretty much the same. Some cells had been formed, but nothing capped and not much activity. No real sign of a queen.

2)The other hive has a problem too. The empty slot is a section of comb attached to the lid. It comes out when you remove the lid.

3) there is this mini "swam" that has been hanging out on a bench post for almost two weeks now. Don't see a queen, but she may be underneath.
