I currently have 3 hives and am starting a 4th this Saturday with a package of bees. Would it be advisable to take 2 of the outer frames from the other hives, after shaking off the bees, and put them in the new hive? Reason for this is that I do not have more drawn frames available just fresh foundation frames. The older hives would get new foundation frames in the #1 and 10 positions. My current hives all are showing good queen laying patterns and are bringing it lots of nectar and pollen. Good idea or not?
