New Queen concerns

I feel so bad thinking I am sending our new queen to a certain death. All the feedback I've received is that the original queen is probably still in the hive. A queenless hive is usually aggressive, and this one is calm (until I installed the new queen). But I can't find the old queen! I had to go check and see how Queen #2 is faring. She is still alive in her cage. Bees are still surrounding queen cage with a not so friendly demeanor. Hive is grouchy and aggressive today. I'll leave her in and see how the hive is tomorrow.
