Drawing a queen into the 2nd brood box.

A trick for drawing the queen into the 2nd brood box is to:

• Place the box on the top of the two brood boxes;
• Pull a couple frames with all stages of brood (eggs, larva, pupa, and adult) from the 1st box, into the center of the 2nd box;
• Worker bees will work harder to build the nest larger to encompass all brood frames
• The queen will lay in both boxes;
• The newborn bees hatching out of the pupa stage will work on the frames around the area they hatched from.

This needs to happen now, before the honeyflow!
