Did you see eggs today? If so, the queen may well be present. Find her and put her in a nuc box with a frame of sealed brood + bees, a frame of pollen and honey + bees, and another emptyish comb of bees.
Check there are no QCs on these frames by shaking bees off into the nuc box and removing anything that looks likely.

Add empty combs or foundation to fill the box and park it elsewhere in the apiary. Stuff loosely a bit of grass in the entrance.
If you wish to put the nuc elsewhere more than 2-3 miles away, there's no need to add the extra bees.
