Bob,

>> The queen and the bees go into the box below.
>Is there not an error here?  How can the QUEEN  get through the  
inner cover to  go  into the box below, and indeed, would these the 
other bees leave the queen alone above the Q excluder?

When I said 'the queen and the bees go in the box below,' I 
meant 'the beekeeper places the queen and the bees in the box below 
the queen excluder.'

Hope this clarifies it.
