I put my honey super in the middle!

Hello All,
   I had two deeps drawn out ten frames in the top and 8 in the bottom.  I added a medium super and the bee's didn't touch it for almost three weeks!  I figured it couldn't hurt so I put the super in-between the top and bottom deep brood boxes.  This evening I went out and inspected the hive.  The top deep brood box was barely liftable!  Ten frames full of honey and brood.  I thought the brood would slow down but there were brood on six frames.  The rest were all honey and mostly capped.  The supper which remains in the middle was almost all drawn out!  Pretty new white wax!  I am hoping to move it up in a week as I really don't want queen laying in it.  I didn't pull any frames from the bottom deep.  The bee's were tired of me poking around and that box is as heavy as the other deep.  I am quessing it is full of honey, not sure about brood but I have no lack of bees.  I think I caught a pretty nice swarm this spring.  For my first hive I am happy with there progress.   Just wanted to tell yall how it worked with moving the super in between the two deep brood boxes.  I think it is working well.
