Thank you I had to buy bees and they are in a med frame box. I purchased them actually from my college bee instructor so the 2 brood boxes I believe is acceptable practice. I am just unable to use the brood box which came with my flow hive as they are med frame and it is deep frame. I was asking as bee people are not familiar with flow hive but I see photos now here on this site with several brood boxes with a flow hive. So thanks for your response. I have learned that I will need to wait to allow the bees to grow into the flow hive brood box and them remove the med brood box the bees came in. Basically a step I am learning how to do. I had thought he was somehow loading the bees into my brood box, So new and so green. 👽

I’m not sure if this will help, but another forum member converted national (UK) standard frames to the Langstroth frames - could be worth a look, and maybe inspire a bit of creative modification ideas for the medium frames you have - [Managed to adapt UK national frame to langstroth in 1 minute](http://forum.honeyflow.com/t/managed-to-adapt-national-frame-to-langstroth-in-1-minute/7749?u=faroe)
