So the reason for this move is the water is running out. Will this work. I taped 2 tubes together leaving some space for ventilation.I covered the new one.

Re: Moving queen
There is enough moisture in that tube to last her a while -- she may not move at all, with adequate humidity coming from the other tube. Regardless, she should be comfortable until her first workers.

Re: Moving queen
Should I put both tubes away still together in my draw?

Re: Moving queen
Just make sure the gap isn't too large. One of my queens escaped that way.
