The Queen in my weak hive

Last week I found the introduced queen in this weak hive, I noticed that she was hanging out on the bottom screen board and the sides, I decided to give her new frames of fresher comb and a frame of brood to hopefully entice her to start laying, a week later here we are, I noticed that she wasnt on the bottom or sides but I didn't see her until playback, ( you can clearly see her at 7.18 ) I did see new eggs and larvae so hopefully all is well, next week will let me know if she is only laying drones or if she is laying workers. She crtainly looks good to me.

Is the smoke harmful to the bees? And is it special smoke?

@@ralphh796 the smoke is a tool for beekeepers, it is used to hide the pheromones released by the bees as their means of communication, so no organized attacks on the beekeeper lol.
I didnt need to use a lot of smoke this time as the bees were very calm
