Yes.. as was mentioned before, the bees will follow the queen, she needs to
be inside the hive you are going to install the package in.  I would suggest
hanging the queen cage between two frames or placeing the cage on the upper
part of a comb, add a handfull of bees, close up the box then just dump
the rest of the bees at the hive enterance.  A day or two later release
queen but and this is very important, make sure that the bees are not
being aggressive towards the Q in the cage as indicated by the bees
biting the wire or bees clustering tightly on the cage.  When the Q is
released, watch the bees reaction towards her, they should form a court
around her but if they form a tight ball (golf ball size) or pull and
bite at her then put her back into the cage for longer.  If the bees
to form a tight ball around the Q (known as balling) the simplest
way to separate them is to lift the ball and dump it into some
luke warm water - the bees will imediatly release the Q, if you try to
pull balling bees from the Q sometimes they will sting her.
        It would be a good idea to feed your bees as they are more likely
to accept a Q when they think that there is a honey flow on!
