I didn't bother with the sequel  couldn't make myself watch it
You didn't miss anything.  I have a little sister who is really into Chris Hemsworth, or I wouldn't have bothered with it either.  :wink:

Just to conclude this saga, I had another small swarm which I put on top of this hive, trying again to provide them with a queen faster than they can make one.  Yesterday I checked and the virgin in the top is now laying, which is great.  Then I checked the bottom and there was BIAS and not a single queen cell!  :shocked:  So I guess there was a mated queen in there after all and I somehow just missed her?!  Who knows.  Now I've got two queens instead of none.  :embarassed:  I figure I'll just keep the one in the top as a spare until swarm season is over.  If I don't end up needing her, maybe I'll put her in her own hive, or just use her colony as a support hive. 

Thanks for all the help throughout this whole thing, everyone.  Never a dull moment!  :happy:
