Well, I had an idea, then a plan, then...a hive! There weren't any more package bees available in my area after the failed installation into my Cathedral Hive. However, there are nucleus colonies! A Trip to Mann Lake LTD in Wilkes Barre did the trick, as I got a 'nut' and made it work. It'll be a cross comb nightmare where I put the hacked frame, but that's for them anyways/their brood area. I put the extra brood and resources into my 'flow' langstroth hive, and everyone did indeed settle in!

The barrel hive is better than the box hive, especially since the frames are easy to disassemble and the honey does not stick to them

Interested to see what will happen, but I do approve of the name Frankenhive!

That is an excellent question. I don’t have enough time with a cathedral have yet to say, but I think I like the layens overall. This was my first successful flow hive year and it was rather convenient although I feel like I have less control over some aspects, as the frames are rather large, and may not be fully capped at harvest, making for a wet honey
