I just finished adding supers to on hive.  During the winter I was feeding
this colony of bees with the bag type feeder which utilizes a small super
that is placed on top of the hive body.  Once the bees had finished off the
sacks of sugar water they built comb in the area.  Today I scaped the comb
off the top board and placed the comb on top of the top bars of the bee
hive so I could add the queen excluder and my supers.  It was pretty messy.
 Should have I, or shouldn't have I done this.  What are the consequences
or results?
 
 
Also, I have one hive that is queenless and has laying workers.  I placed
two frames of brood from a strong hive into this hive.  I was told to do
this so they would develop a new queen.  I did this about 7 days ago.  I
checked today and did not notice any new queen cells.  I need some help on
this one.  Anybody got any advice.  What next?
