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.
