(Gleaned from Le Rucher Beige) Mr. Leger gives the following rules to prevent the queen from going in the supers: 1st—A brood nest of sufficient size. 2nd—Put the supers on only when there is some sealed honey at the top of the brood nest combs. 3rd—Avoid putting drone comb in the supers. 4th—Never put any brood or brood frame in the supers to start the work there.
