Snelgroved two of my hives 12 days ago. Yesterday on inspection I have found both queens in the top BB.
I know both Q's were definitely placed in bottom BB on outset. Eggs found in both BB's and swarm cells capped in bottom one. QX and snelgrove board between BB's.
Clearly Q's have moved up. How has this happened and what should I do please?

No one knows, how that can happen, if you do not know.

Solution is that you make horizontal AS and move the parent hive 10 feets aside. Foundations box and queen into old site.

If the queen can move from part to part, the queen is too in swarming mode and the whole system. If it is not in swarming mode, it would kill the queen cells.
 
I posted recently Snelgrove had stupid bees. Boards have no impact on my colonies. It's like a line of ants. So yours brought the Q; clever girls

One of the reasons why Wally Shaw modified it.
