Ahoy-hoy BEE-KEEPERS

This is now getting rediculous. 9 swarms in 2 weeks on a quarter of an acre apple orchard.

Looks like it is not just round you

Question for the bee experts on here. Has anyone had any joy with frames 90 degree to each other. Reason for asking is with all these swarms I have run out of National hives which I have now standadised on. I started out on MD hives but as I have got older there getting just to heavy. I have worked out if in a MD box I put in a MD frame at either side then my National Frames will fit cross ways between the two MD Frames. Will this work or should I just stick to dummy boards to reduce the internal dimentions.
