Transfer from nuc to deep

[redhat]

Hi guys, whats the correct way for transferring 5 frames from a nuc to a deep? Should I keep the same order etc? Thanks.

Yes, it's best to keep the same order.  Just fill the extra space with frames.  Depending on the time of year, if you want to open the brood nest to make room for growth, you could add one or two frames between existing brood frames.

Yes always keep the same order. Are you talking 4 or 5 frame deep Nuc to a deep 8 or 10 frame?  If you are just put them in the middle and add empties on both sides.  Here in Michigan if I make these early I like to put them on one side away from the enterence and add frames over the enterence.  In my mind this helps keep the drafts on the brood until they grow abit.  If your nucs happen to be shallow or med I would still place them the same way in the deep.  They will just draw out comb under the frame to fit the space and these can be rotated out later

Thanks for the information.
