After all frames are arranged and replaced, and all hive boxes back on the hive, replace the inner cover or hive-top feeder, then replace the top cover with the requisite rocks or bricks on top.  Be careful, when replacing the inner cover or hive-top feeder, not to mash bees running along the top edge of the box.  The smoker or bee brush is handy for shooing them out of harm's way.
