I have a brood chamber or bottom box or brood chamber may be better
descriptions.  This is where the queen is confined to by a queen excluder.
Then there is a super or box on top of the queen excluder.  When that super
or box is about half full of honey and there is a honey flow on, I lift this
super off, put an empty super or box on top of the queen excluder and then
put the half full super on top of the empty one.

This is what we call under supering.  If the bees are strong and a good flow
is anticipated, then I can put two empty supers on top of the queen excluder
before placing the half full super back on top.  Of course, there is a lid
that fits on top.

When the top box is full, then a clearer board (escape board) goes under
this full super and the honey removed next day.  If I had put on only one
super, then the unit is now back to two supers high.  If the remaining top
box is half full or better, then I under super again and the process goes
on, hopefully.
