 There is no good way to stop the queen from going into the higher supers,
 buy once you have the bees working in them and a few combs drawn out, put
 the excluder in, that will stop her.  The advice you got about not using a
 queen exclduer with new undrawn comb is very accurate.  Evenif you get a
 few larvae and eggs in the honey supers, they will filter out. Ug!  So does
 everything else.

Hey I dont know if this is the best way to go but I have been putting a super
of undrawn foundation between the broodnest and the drawn supers and the
queen seems to stay below.
Just pulled another 30 frames of capped honey  what a spring
and someone tried to tell me the main honeyflow in CT is in the fall.
The hives that didnt swarm are stacked 3 supers of drawn and one super of
foundation over 2 deeps.
Six swarms have been hived so far and combined to make 3 strong hives in 2
deeps.
And it looks like my swarm trap is working also - a lot of scouts going in
and out.
