    Don't ultimately think it matters in a framed hive and said as much. Nadir or supering seems to work fine.

    Maybe I'll try it one day but if I gave a colony two brood boxes of foundation I'd expect them to start in the top box first.

    If they filled the lower first fine by me, it's their home.

    I've never seen or used a Warre hive don't the bees just brace comb and propolise the frames together between boxes ?
