Hi John,  
You can add a Flow Super on top of an existing Flow Super. You just need to make sure there is a good flow on so the bees don’t have too much empty space at one time to keep warm/cool (depending on climate). You would also need to make sure your colony is really strong in the bottom brood box.

Doug above has posted about his setup with multiple Flow Supers here:

> Just would like to hear about beekeepers using Flow Hives in numbers that can produce enough honey to supply larger markets…i.e. 10 to 50 hives. What challenges have you faced with Flow Hive equipment and what innovations are you incorporating to make your sideline viable? After 3 seasons of use, our experience is that the bees really like to store honey in those FH frames…and we are continually comparing them to traditionally run hives. And we’ve played a bit with manifold…
