I have been reading Roger Morse's book "The New
Complete Guide To Beekeeping".  In it he states that
for cut comb honey, the placement of the second and
subsequent supers is beneath the first filled super.
The opposite is said of extracted honey - that the
placement of the supers is above the first filled
super.

I had been told some time ago that supers were placed
on the hive above the first 2/3 filled super.  I've
also read, I believe by George Imrie, that he places 5
supers on his hive at once.

What order of placement of supers provides the best
conditions for extracted honey?  What order of
placement provides the best "working environment" for
the bees?
