Did my first inspection today, didn't find the queen, plenty of drone lava, no brood seen and full of stores and worst of all they were that mad afterwards stung the wife who was twenty feet away going to car. Are they normally more aggressive if queenless.

Why do you think they are Q-? Seems more likely a DLQ.

She is marked and I went although the hve (two suppers on no Q excl) and I didn's see her. Since they are full of stores/pollen think they may have swarmed. But cann't put up with the wife being stung/chased so will be moving them on Sunday and then check again for the queen.
