Hey... you gave them the best chance they had of surviving. Queens are quite durable. Don't discount her yet. Worst case scenario, the bees make another queen.
My guess (if you did vac her) she will be laying again very soon. Wait a week and check for queen cells and inspect to locate the queen at the same time.
If they had stores, there is no reason to feed.
Keep us in the loop with pics as you go.
