I find that bees will readilly use top entrances but to my disavantage 
during honey super management. Bigest advantage IMO:

1. Bees pileing in over edge of super removing or placing on.

2. More pollen placed in honey supers.

3. Superseedure queens are likely to use and start brooding in honey supers, 
especially if 'Q'excluder is used.
