Does anyone know a drop in backlit screen that fits the OEM equipment? I want one the same size as the original. Thank you.

This is a follow up from last week. I placed a Russian/Italian hybrid small queen from Lappes bee supply in a California mini cage in on Wednesday night. Went back this morning and the cage was empty the candy was gone. Would they release her if they weren’t going to accept her? First time requeening. I am feeding them, I’m in KY 6B.
I just added a second deep to my 8 frame swarm hive that has 7/8 frames completely drawn out and filled with either brood or honey. They’ve got one side of frame 8 drawn and half the other side. I added a new deep with fresh foundation two days ago and I’m feeding 1:1 sugar water. What else do I need to do to help them get ready for winter?
Also, very few have moved into the top deep so far. Photo above. Do I need to remove it? I was afraid they’d throw a secondary swarm. Other than that one side of one frame they are totally full of something on all frames. Bee population during bearding a few days ago on other picture (top box then was covering sugar water jar).
I have a queen coming tomorrow but my state is getting targeted for severe storms and possible tornadoes. What do I do with her? Do I try to install her in the rain? Do I push the cage into the bottom entrance and leave her till Wednesday?
Can anyone help ID which hammer species this is? Caught in SC.
Does anyone know if I can night fish on the beach at Hilton Head island? I’ve never tried night fishing and I see signs about white lights and sea turtles but I have a red lantern.
Thanks
Can I night fish on the beach with a red flashlight? I’ve seen signs about the turtles but it only mentions no white light.
So I have a hive in two deep boxes. My bees basically refuse to use the bottom box. My queen lays all in the top and honey production is taking place up there. How do I convince them to use the frames in the bottom too in preparation for winter?
Looking to target small hammerhead species on vacation at Hilton head next week. I’ve got a ton of black tips, Atlantic sharp nose, and sandbar sharks off the beach but never a hammer. Anyone know what bait they prefer?
Wanting to target small hammers of Hilton head island next week. Anyone have any tips on bait they prefer? Caught a ton of black tips, Atlantic sharp nose, and a small sandbar out there last year. But no hammers of any species
Anyone have surf fishing tips for Foldy field beach? Caught a ton of whiting and catfish last year and would like to target trout and reds
Anyone know when the 4th of July crowds clear out? We’re coming down on the 6th and staying on Foley Field. Really just want to surf fish. Don’t much care if I can sit and be on the beach. Will usually be getting down there around 6:30-7:00 with the kids. We have private access where we are staying
Anyone have any experience with the Dadant 8 frame beetle trap bottom boards? They’re adapted from 10 frame bottom boards and some people have stated they leak as there’s a lip that’s open to rainwater. Does anyone have an alternative beetle trap that fits an 8 frame that they like?
I hve a pair of nice Dadant sheepskin gloves. I just washed them in dye free detergent with my bee suit and they’re blue. No idea where the blue came from unless the dye from the size (on my gloves) bled. Will this hurt my bees? Can I still use them?
Title basically says it all. I’m nervous as all get out over my new daughter coming and my wife’s repeat c section. I think I am allowed to stay with her in the OR but I am not sure. I won’t find out till tomorrow but that doesn’t help me get through today.
So I posted a few days ago about a nuc I received from Mann Lake. The queen was absent and there were no eggs. Well my bees made three capped emergency queen cells. Mann Lake also decided to mail me a hygienic queen (the nuc I bought was VSH) that should be here Tuesday.
What do I do about the queen cells? Do I check the hive and see if they have hatched before I put the mail in Queen in? Do I even try to use the mated mailed queen or will they just kill her?
I can give her to a friend for a split and save her if they’re just gonna kill her. Or is it better if I try to track down the existing queen and kill her in favor of the one they are mailing me?
I’m in KY 6B.
