Laying Workers?

We are inspecting a hive that may have laying workers. We hope to find a queen, or anything that might indicate this is a viable colony.
We have been keeping bees since 2016. We are hobbyist beekeepers who started out with 2 hives in our backyard. After about a year, we discovered how quickly a colony can become too defensive to be kept in a neighborhood. Now we've got our bees outside of town on 10 acres.
Even after 8 years, we consider ourselves as newbie beeks, and we learn new things every season. The videos are mostly for our own consumption, but if you are watching, you are welcome to watch and we hope you find them informative.

The way those bees are aimlessly walking around the frames suggests to me that your hive is queenless. The best way to look for a queen is not to look for a queen. Get a flashlight for days when you are beekeeping when it is cloudy. Looking for one egg in the very bottom of the cells is the best way to know if you have a queen or not. Multiple eggs in each cell and usually not on the bottom of the cell represents a laying worker hive.
