If there is no other use for it a queen is given or else one is raised from young larva in the hive and a strong colony is the result. Concerning additional super room Dr. Miller says: During the early part of the harvest, so long as there is a reasonable expectation that each additional super will be needed, the empty super is put under the others, next to the brood chamber. Work will commence in it more promptly than when an empty super is placed on top, and that greater promptness in occupying the new super may be the straw to turn the scale on the side of keeping down the desire for swarming.

It is true that if an empty super is placed under the others at a time when the harvest is Hearing its close, the bees may not do a thing in it, but merely go up and down through it and keep to work in the super above. But it is not so well to have them working so far from the brood nest with empty space beneath.

The empty super on top gives a less crowded feeling and may help a little toward preventing swarming. No matter how full or empty the lower super may be, this top super serves as a sort of safety-valve, in ease any need for more room should arise.
