When you buy a new queen. Where and how should you put her in? My cut out super queen cells didn't take from other hives. So i have to buy a new one. any thoughts?

Assuming they are queenless, a simple candy cage introduction is usually quite effective.

If you want to stack the deck a push in cage is almost foolproof.
