Push in cage mistake

2 days ago I re queened using a push in cage. I installed the queen over emerging brood. All was well but I realized there was a very small amount of honey with her. I thought this would be okay for her for 4 days but when the brood hatch they will need to eat as well and she may not get fed. Should I go in and move the cage? Maybe put a piece of comb honey inside?
Thanks!

I removed a frame when I installed her to give them room to cover the cage. This is a package that turned drone layer, the brood was from another hive.
