I put an empty super on top of the hive, _under_ the inner cover, and set a
large glass baking dish directly on top of the frames in the hive body.  I
fill this with syrup and float some thin slices of styrofoam on it, not quite
entirely covering the liquid surface, so the bees have access without
drowning.  I then put the inner and outer covers on the super.
 
It seems best to set this up early, while the bees are still active, so that
they find the feeder.
