If you know about adding supers you must be a beekeeper and therefore this is not the right site to ask this type of question because you may well get an incorrect answer. Join your local beekeepers and be guided by them. But just this once I will answer your question. When all of the foundation has been drawn in your brood box and 4/5 of your frames are covered in bees, put on your Queen excluder and add a super. When that super is 4/5 full, add another and so on. If your bees are foraging on OSR, you need to remove your supers as soon as possible after they are capped and extract otherwise your honey will crystallize. If they are foraging on anything else you can leave the supers on until the end of the season.
