I have two queens who just and workers and I fed them some honey. I was wondering when would be a good time to feed them again?

GIve them access to an outworld via the drinking straw method. Never feed inside the tube. You really just play it by ear. when the honey dries out give em a new drop. also fruit flies are excellent for protein for young colonies.
Proverbs 6:6-8

Go to the ant, you sluggard;
consider its ways and be wise!
It has no commander,
no overseer or ruler,
yet it stores its provisions in summer
and gathers its food at harvest.
