I have had a swarm arrive which is great... unfotunatly I did not have the queen excluder in and a super on top. So the bees are very active but in the super.
Any advise on how to get them back down into the broad box, or just leave alone.. Bet
 
i would put the super under the bb,they will soon move up,or you can leave it as it is,once they are drawing the bb,you can put the excluder back
 
How long ago did they arrive?

If it was quite recent i would leave well alone until settled.

Wait until she is laying just incase it is a cast with a virgin queen. Then place the excluder in between when your sure she in the the bottom box.

Are they sited correctly?
