You MUST super Westerns with all 10 frames of foundation tightly pushed
together
ONE SUPER AT A TIME!  After the frames are made into drawn comb, then you can
use
just 9 frames if desired, but NEVER with foundation.

Put on just one super of 10 frames of foundation and inspect it until about
6-7 of the frames are drawn and contain some nectar.  Then, move the undrawn
frames to the center and drawn frames to the outside walls, and add a second
super of 10 frames of foundation, and repeat.

Hope I have helped.
