Convention is the new one on top of the old one,QUOTE
Funny, I thought convention was old on top of new. I prefer this way as it is much easier to see when it is capped and ready for extraction and less faffing about to get it off.

I agree, both work.

Question is not at all, how easy it is put the box onto hive or how easy it is to see.
Question is about bees' instincts how they tend to use their hive and how they feel there that they do not start to swarm. never heard???
If you want 100 kg honey from hive, you should first learn nurse bees, and after that think, is it possible to make easier.
Of course it goes that way. I normally have 5-6 supers.
1-2 are under capping work. 3-4 have rippening nectar.
You must extract in order the boxes and then return to the hive.
Why the boxes should be in controversy order? What is the idea?
Hive owner has 2 supers, then he thinks, do I mind lift that previous box off and this under it Meanwhile he thinks, I take 5 supers off, and put a new box under the previous box.
Wau!!!
The bees must feel that their hive is not full of honey. That feeling does not come from system that there are brood and then above capped honey???
Ok, they swarm and that is the end of honey yield. It works.
