Is it the fact most of the sealed brood is left at the bottom box?
Thanks.
Yes - the basic and main principle of Demaree's plan was separating the queen from all of the brood apart from one frame of containing some unsealed brood which is left in the bottom box with the queen - the rest of the box being filled with drawn comb or foundation.

Do you still find that the bees make demaree supersedure cells up there?

Yes and No! Sometimes they do and sometimes they don't ie just as with the standard demaree as described by JMB (which I have also done several times in the past if the colony has only got between 8 and 11 combs of brood at the time).
