If I read this correctly, you have a full super of honey, and then a super
of foundation above, which is empty.
I always put either empty comb, or foundation BELOW a full super. The
full one then tends to act as bait. Also, the full super is likely full of bees
and so the bees draw out the foundation much faster.
