Carol, I was helping yesterday with moving colonies from Langstroths into Valkyries and also found a queenless colony. We checked another colony for worker and drone brood and also found a couple of drones walking a frame face. The decision was to take a frame of brood with its nurse bees for the queenless colony. Vivien was with me, so I had her notch for a queen in three locations. The beekeeper will check the notched frame in four days for queen progress. Another beekeeper in the area has plenty of drone brood and emerged drones meaning there should be a DCA available for this virgin queen.
