Took delivery of a swarm late one evening. The swarm officer reckoned there was a high chance they might abscond, so we put the Queen excluder at the bottom and paper on top. Next day my beekeeping mentor helped me tidy up the hive, put a queen excluder on top as well, and put a feeder on top to induce them to stay. Once the queen starts laying eggs they will stay. She can’t start laying until the workers make comb.
