I would agree with Mike. Don't feed with honey supers on. And by the time I add my honey supers, I'm done feeding anyway. Unless it's a swarm I'm trying to settle in May or June, then I usually give them supplemental feed, which they will sometimes ignore if natural nectar is present.
Dean leaves too many details to my imagination. I presume he was trying to draw out comb in the brood nest on a new set up. If it's an established hive, good flying weather usually takes care of any comb drawing deficits.
