I think I read somewhere that when the extracted supers are placed above the
inner cover, the bees will move the honey down.  Is this so, or is there a
better way?  The bees have some RR supers that are not quite done, and I
want to get then off before the autumn flow.  I usually let this go for the
bees over wintering, but depending on the flow might super again.  There is
plenty of forage still, and they are bringing in honey.  
One other question is that since yanking the supers, several hives are
fairly covered with bees.  Should I super these?  I am about down to
foundation only, and don't think they will do anything on them.
