Good to hear. Glad it worked out. Laying workers are hard to cure.

CBT
We made a mistake, we took the supersedure queen ,after the swarm,not understanding the 2nd supqueen was replacement for hive, old queen went out an was gone, didn't realize box was queenless, ended up being a working laying hive , had to come up with a plan ,had read about newspaper comb., iddee  gave us the best advice that we could've learned , being that all bees regardless of breed can still , smell a queen, an setting a queen wrong hive ( with screen) on queen right hive 7 days will work ! !
