Bobby says "Many Beekeepers if Florida are using short supers as brood
chambers. They
have told be this has eliminated the problem of swarming"
 
What is a "short super"?  4 3/4", 5 1/2", 6 3/4", something else?  What is
the mechanism that they say is at work whereby the "short super" reduces or
eliminates swarming?
