No top queen but plenty of mites

Inspected both hives today.  First the new hive.
Once again I was impressed by the number of bees in the Vivaldi box.  I didn't see the queen or any larvae or capped brood in the top box.  Honey was being made in most of the cells in the central frames, including where there had previously been brood.  I did take a good look for the queen.  I assume she's gone.
In the bottom brood box, I did see the queen.  There was only a little honey and a bit of capped brood.  I didn't see, nor look hard for, any larvae.  I collected bees for a sugar shake count by dumping them into a bucket and then scooping them up into the jar.  Results of count below.

In the old hive, I checked for honey in the supers by heft only.  It didn't feel any heavier than last time.  In the deep boxes there were about 6 frames of capped honey combined. As in the other hive, I spotted the queen and collected bees for a sugar shake count.  I also saw a bee that was deformed- it looked like she had only a rudimentary abdomen and her wings looked thickened.  I set her aside for a photo, but she wandered off while I was busy.

Then I took my two jars of bees in for the shake count. It was awful!  About 1/3 cup of bees in the old hive with 31 mites and 1/2 cup of bees in the new hive with 48 mites.  My calculations are 15.5% in the old and 16% in the new.  But with that number of mites, even if my calculations are off, I need to treat.  So later this afternoon I went back and put Mite-away quick strips into both hives.
