I'm a new beekeeper with some 1st year bees in some old styrofoam 10-frame deeps and shallow supers.
I've kept the new bees busy this summer building comb in the shallow supers.

I want to start using 8-frame mediums for everything.
(So that I can move frames around wherever they are needed and because 8-frame mediums weigh less.)

I have purchased a 2-medium "complete" hive kit and plan to purchase additional equipment next March
to end up with 2 hives consisting of 5-mediums.

My question is: 
What's the best way for a new beekeeper suchj as myself 
to move the bees I have now form the 10-frame deeps to the 8-frame medium equipment 
WITHOUT losing bees & the queen in the process.

Thanks,
Dennis
