yup agreed this seems to work better for me too.I've done it both ways and I seem to have my best results when I put the empty super directly on top of the brood boxes and any filled or mostly filled supers on top of the empty.
Agree works well and also then when removing I have the full, capped, supers on top and do not have to move a supper that is not filled out to get to one that is ready to harvest.I've done it both ways and I seem to have my best results when I put the empty super directly on top of the brood boxes and any filled or mostly filled supers on top of the empty.
If all foundation, I would remove the QE for a few weeks. Shake the bees off each frame to make sure the queen is not trapped and then re-install the QE.What if you’re adding a super with foundation and not comb?
I put undrawn foundation directly on top of the excluder, with mostly capped or mostly nectar filled & already drawn foundation above it. I've also put a few drawn empty frames near the center of the undrawn foundation box, checkerboarded in with the undrawn foundation.What if you’re adding a super with foundation and not comb?
