On the first picture, shows whole frame in the mid right of frame you have a mature queen cell. On the mid left looks like a immature queen cell, bee was tending it.

Give it time to hatch out and settle down before disturbing,.

How long should I wait? This is a new adventure for me.  Any advice is appreciated.

That cell looked like it was maybe a day or two from hatching. A week to 10 days after that I would start investigating. See if there is a queen in there, but be careful, she'll probably be a runner unless she has had her mating flights. I would say maybe a week from today?

Checked the queen peanut today and she is out. The bees were a lot less aggressive this time as well. I didn't try to find her.

Not a very good picture but you can see she's gone.
