Laying workers are sometime hard to get queen right. One method is to shake the bees away from the hive. Put a queen excluder on the bottom between bottom board and the hive body.
To help it become queen right, add a frame of brood and a frame of eggs. The hive must have honey/pollen for nutrition.
Check the hive 3-5 days for queen cells. If you see cells, the hive is trying to right itself.
