Try to lure bees up to 2nd brood box

Its been 5 days since adding the second brood box and the bees still aren't interested so today I took a frame of honey and pollen and put it above the cluster in the lower box in a attempt to lure them up. The hive seems queen right and the population seems to be growing.

I need to order some supplies~ more foundation, a frame grip, pollen trap, mite count tray, lemon oil or swarm lure and smoker fuel (because I just can't get that damn thing to stay lit).
