No they are an 8 frame box that takes 8 frames only.  These are used in 
certain parts of Australia.  I had a few I had acquired over the years and 
thought I would try them as they do not go into the yards with the normal 10 
frame boxes.

As for sequence, I had the drawn ones left over from the ones that died out 
the previous year that I started the new hive with in a four frame nuc box.. 
Tried in one to just let them expand of their own accord.  The other one I 
split the brood with a foundation.  Same result in both.
