Yes it's done all the time by beekeepers, also if you have a strong hive you can give a frame or two of brood two the nuc's to boost up their population. Good luck. Jack

The above is correct but if you transfer frames of brood make sure there is enough bees to cover that brood that is given to the weak.

One caution that doesn't get mentioned very much with this practice is the transfer of mites and disease. For instance I got a big strong swarm this year that came with a mite drop of about 50 per day right now. I would never transfer brood from that hive to my other hive that I only see one mite dropped every other day.

Just a thought.

I would like to hear other more experience BKs on this.

The disease, mite issue is a thought. Also as a new beek make sure you don't transfer your queen. We new beeks might make that mistake.
