Hi All , Put super and QE on national hive for the first time last Friday , checked hive today to find bees are not coming up through queen exclude r Is there some way I can entice the bees up ?.

What are the frames like in the super? If they are new, see if you can find an older well used one. Sometimes this helps.

Yes, as per the last post, frames of foundation or drawn comb?

See thread elsewhere on this forum concerning a batch of defective queen excluders - gaps too narrow.

Take out the QE for a few days, bees go up, queen unlikely to however if she does it's not too much of an issue getting her back down again

I had this last year - for some reason they just wouldn't go through the QEx, removed if for a week then refitted it and they were in it no probs after that.
