At the end of the day yesterday, I found that one of the packages I installed last Friday is queenless. Should I re-queen today? It seems to me that the colony might not care enough about a new queen cage to keep her warm tonight (if there's an efficient way to do that at all), but it also seems like they need a new queen asap. Could I get one today and keep her in my house overnight & introduce her tomorrow? Or just wait until Monday?
Thanks,
Rachel Franke
