Hi Chris, I use green garden tie, however frames of brood like that are only a temporary measure for me. Once the colony gets established on good frames, I cycle those uneven frames out by placing them above the QX to let the brood emerge, then the bees fill them with honey.
Something I learned recently is that you don’t have to maintain to original orientation. You can put the comb on any orientation that fits. You can even place it horizontal, as I did the other day.
