Without a queen they will not survive the winter.
Your next problem will be to stave off the creation of a lying worker; which can happen once there is no brood in the hive so time is not on your side at this point. The description itself sounds somewhat suspicious unless you accidentally killed the queen when removing honey boxes/frames but even then I'd expect the bees to have prepared an emergency queen had the original queen been killed.
Have you shopped around to see if you can purchase a queen and requeen the hives? Around here they are hard to come by but not impossible.
If you have other keeper friends you could barter for a frame of eggs in hope that the hives will raise a queen; time is close but not impossible to raise/mate and have hatching for over-winter bees.
