One of Lloyd's old wives tales

> 3.  Bottom supering (instead of top supering) to improve honey yields.

Just to show that areas are different, here in our part of Australia under
supering, or bottom supering as you call it, is the norm.  Without it we
would not get good honey yields.  If I over super, or top supering as you
call it, then I would not get as much honey as I do by under supering.

If I have a very good honey flow then I can put on two supers but here again
I under super.  What was there first would be a brood chamber, an excluder
and a super.  Lift the super and put the other/s under on top of the
excluder.
