Second year in upstate NY! I split a hive a week ago and believed I located the queen to the split. Today upon inspection of the split I see no queen, no eggs, no larva, and minimal brood. I also see queen cells.

I then inspected the hive the split came from and also see no signs of queen. Queen cells that were originally in this hive before split were left and are still present.

I guess I’m just looking for advice on next steps. What to look for? What not to do? All and any help is appreciated.

The split was done without 100 percent knowing where the queen was. I panicked and just did it without being fully knowledgeable and prepared.
