Rod Billett asks how or if he should remove the older combs he received
with his purchased nuc from his new hive.
 
No.  Concentrate on building the colony up so that it will successfully
winter.  The older combs can be moved to the side of the brood rearing area
after the queen is laying in the second brood nest, or even next year.  If
all goes well, you can make a divide next year.
