:?Can anyone give me a lead on where I can find a couple of queens at this time of the year at a reasonable price? I need a couple for some swarms that I caught. I live in south Louisiana, right on the coast. Seems that the queens are laying but not well. I would appreciate any suggestions.

you may not need queens you didnt give us all the details. are they on foundation or drawn comb you may have had  swarms with virgins queens i would wait a couple of weeks to see if they straighten out. I would much rather have the genetics from a swarm if they are from feral hives than i would a purchased queen.
never take the top off a hive on a day that you wouldn't want the roof taken off your house
