Last week I put my super back on but ninety degrees awry so my brood box is the cold way but my super is the warm way so there is a criss cross of frames. I can correct it next Sunday when I do another inspection but in the meantime does it matter and what might happen if they were left that way indefinitely?
 
I do that with lots of mine, especially on brood and a half with the two brood box's, it means when I lift a frame in then top brood box it doesn't pull the frame up below it in the bottom one. I do it for the same reasons with some supers. Some say the bees don't produce as much honey but mine don't seem to care. In the wild comb goes in all directions!
