An easy way to get bees started in a hive with bigger frames is to attach a frame - with queen - to a larger top bar that fits the new hive.
This is one I did earlier; once the surrounding foundation had been drawn, this National frame was removed to allow the bees to continue their work on the Langstroth frames.
The drone comb either side clearly demonstrates the need to maintian the bee space in a hive!

May your bees read the same books as you do.
