When I find a queen in the honey super, I take out my trusty queen catcher
and catch her. I then lay the catcher on top of the brood frames for a few
minuets. Having been trapped for a few minuets, she immediately runs down
into the hive where she belongs. I then put on an excluder and reassemble
the hive. No fuss, no big deal. I take the cover and inner cover off once
a week to allow newly hatched drones to escape.
