I dunno what pack you're in Saice, but if you're on the mindcrack pack, you could make a few extra bee machines to inoculate Cave Dwelling into all your bees. That would allow you to have a "true" underwater base without those glass pillars shooting up.

No idea I have not gotten that fair and have been avoiding reading up to much on them.
Well yeah, but I was talking about the base alveary. Not counting the heater, fan or swarmer.
Actually for giggles I thought I would test it.
It is not the Alv or the Api that cares about sunlight at all. its the Bee that cares.
As you can see here one bee type and it is all OMG NO SUN

But with this other type No problem what so ever.

also as a side it appears ANY SLAB can be used for the top of you Alv not just wood ones.
Its not the glass that is blocking the sky but the water. The whole issue was started becuase I was underwater I have fixed this issue in my world by added huge long stacks of glass. But since some asked about the Alv I figured Id test it.
Well rember it is not the block but the bee that wants the sky. Some bees work fine with the sky blocked off.
But when they do my testing showed the Api only being 1 block needed a 1x1 block space above it to the sky and glass worked fine. Did not test with leaves. ... wait one sec *boots up test world* ... ok Leaves no... but oddly Fences, Fence gates, Iron bars, glass panes, and trap doors all work.
As for the alveray it is only the center block that matters so you can use a 1x1 tower over it if your building underground or under water or just want to have it inside.
Ok, I know that Ultimate adds mods that have magic in them, but I didn't know it had a mod that added in Necromancy.
Necromancy is just one of them skills you pick up if you hang around on forums long enough.
Go forth and build your underwater/ground bee farm and be happy.
