Hi Ian,
My 2p’s worth - I always do this if there’s a decent flow on (as there is
at the moment). Helps to even things out, and doesn’t seem to bother the
bees as far as I can tell.
Cheers,
Andy.

Hello beekeepers, and here's a request for some advice.
Both my hives have 2 supers on them. The lower one in each case is
reasonably well (IMO) packed with honey. The upper one in each case was put
on about a month ago with only foundation, but both are becoming reasonably
well drawn.
The question is whether I should swap the supers over i.e. put the
upper/newer ones below the lower/older ones? My thinking for this is that
it would make it easier for the bees to do more on the new supers, and
eventually I hope yield me more honey by the time that point arrives...
All opinions welcomed please!
Ian
