At this point you can probably just fill the hive with bars and let the girls sort it out. If you have empty brood comb that has all hatched and is empty, move that bar back to the honey area to be cycled out of the hive with a honey harvest, and replace it with an empty bar. Thats one advantage to a TBH - cycling out old brood comb. Queens like to lay in new comb. They reuse old comb because the bees cant move whole combs, but you can. So as brood hatches and comb becomes empty and starts being filled with pollen or honey, move that back to the storage area and put a new bar at the back of the brood area. That way brood combs stay together for care, space is created for new brood comb, and the queen doesn't have to cross honey comb for laying space.
Now in the real world of 30 hives, I dont have time to micro manage my hives like that any more. So I wind up with messes I have to try and fix later. Doing cutouts while teaching summer school while trying to manage so many hives ive decided is insane. But when I just had a couple hives, that's how I tried to manage them.
