[QUOTE="Alastair, post: 8900, member: 13"] Yes that's right. The configuration from the bottom should be - 2 QR brood boxes. On top of that 2 thicknesses newspaper, with a fingerhole punched in the middle to allow some ventilation plus get combination started. On top of that a queen excluder, then the LW brood box. Then on top of that all honey supers, no newspaper required between those and the LW brood box. How to stop LW'ers laying in the supers? You can't, just have to wait till they are reverted to normal workers by exposure to brood and queen pheremones, normally takes one to two weeks. That's as long as it is LW'ers in the supers, not a drone laying queen. Which can be determined by number and placement of eggs in the cells. [/QUOTE]
