This is my first year Beekeeping. :scratch:
Yesterday when I checked my hive I could not find any eggs.
13 days ago I inspected my Hive and had eggs.
I never have been able to find the queen... but I can always see eggs.

If I killed the queen 13 days ago how many days will it be before I'll be
able to SEE a queen cell?

When I reached the last frame I check them all a second time. No eggs and No large cell that would make me think they were raising a queen.

I'm not sure what to do? Let nature take it's course or buy a Queen? How
many days before a worker starts laying eggs?

Any advice would be great. Thanks

In 13 days you should see fully developed queen cells. Sometimes queens fail and won't even lay drone brood. They have enough pheremones that the hive feels it is still queen right and they won't make another queen. If that happens you will need to find the defective queen and kill her before giving them another queen.
