Here is a picture of a swarm that moved into a stack of 5 empty medium supers that I put one old drawn frame in with 9 foundation less for frames. I took the hive apart 10 days after they moved in. The 10 frames were fully and perfectly drawn and the cross comb was at least 12 inches deep. I cut the comb and put them in medium frames with rubber bands holding them in place. Three pieces of comb were already cut out.
