Frame relocations

I was in one of my hive bodies today and decided it was time to add another one. I had 8 out of 10 filled, however frames 1 & 10 were totally empty. I decided to spray them again with sugar water and re-insert in positions 3 & 8. This pushed existing 3 & 8, 2 & 9 out. Did I make a mistake or is this just frame management?

It is just good management. You may want to also swap 5 & 6 in the new top box with 5 & 7 in the bottom box if they are the same size box. That will force them to go into the new box and start working.
