Hi all,

Here on the Central Coast of California I also lift up the honey super and
place the empty one under it. Best done with 2 people  -  one lifts the honey
super and the other puts the empty down, "preferably before tomorrow" is what I
say while holding that box of honey. Works good when all one has is foundation
left in the warehouse to put on. Bees are forced to work that foundation
above the brood and below the honey. Makes pulling the full one easy too, since
the burr comb with honey between the super and brood is pre-broken and cleaned
up. At least it works for me.

We are picking up 150 hives from the almonds next week or so - all are
busting full in both boxes. Terrific year! Wish I were pulling out 1,500.
