Okay, so I'm planing on getting a nuc. It will either be 5 frame or 10 frame depending on how well the ladies are doing. I'm going to be transfering them into a very beautiful home once I get them, but I have no idea on how to do it. Any help would be GREAT!

Just put the frames in the same arrangment in their new home. You can put them in the center or put them on the south side. Either one will work. Just be gentle and work slowly.

Standard Operating Procedure here in Maine is to put the nuc on top of its new hive and let the bees fly for 2-3 days before installing them. Then as Michael says gently move them into their new home in the same arrangment. I put mine in the center of the box.
