The bees from the bush on my allotment are housed in two supers together and they did have on top of those a brand new brood box. On top of the brood box was a crown board and feeder bucket.
Today I took off the new brood box and lowered the crown board with feeder bucket to sit on top of the two supers. The bees were not going up through the brood box to get to the feed.
