Aaron, what if the round section super is placed on the hive first, allowing
the bees to get started on the sections, then adding one or more supers of
drawn comb.  Will they stop work on round section super even though they've
started on it and being first?

Or, how about adding the round section super and letting the bee to get
started, then adding one super of foundation.  Wouldn't they finish the
round section super before starting on foundation?

I've often wondered about mixing rounds and regular supers too.
