Did artificial swarm lately. Hive setup is:
Super
Super (mostly full)
Brood box
Brood box has a few frames of drawn comb, and a couple frames of older brood/stores.
Queen seems intent on laying in top super (newly drawn comb), while not laying in brood box.
How do I get her to come down to lay in Brood box?
I was thinking put a Q Excluder between the two supers, and force her downwards to lay in brood box, where there is plenty of room?
Any thoughts?
