 If the super is foundation then i would put in ten frames in the super, then when the
bees start drawing the foundation insert the excluder to keep the queen out.
 
 Nine frames will not keep the queen out if there is no place for her to lay, also make
shure the queen is not in the super when you insert the queen excluder.
