Hi everyone,
I've noticed that in both hives, the queens have laid just in three frames on the left side.
Should I move the frames into the middle or let them be?
Thank you.
Marco.

Would the left side of the hives be the sunny / southern / wind sheltered / away from the entrance side?

I'd let them be, the bees will know what's best for their brood.

Decisions, decisions? I'd move the occupied frames to the middle if that is nearer to the entrance.
 
The entrances are both wide open and the sides are one north and one south. Not sure but I think I'm going to let them be. Thank you very much.

Just add one frame between the ones they have drawn and the wall, I.e. Move the drawn frames one frame towards the middle.

.swarm has a strange habit that it starts to lay from one side.
When you put a swarm into a hive, you find the Queen soon between Wall and sidemost frame

If bees' instinct is so why to arrange it otherwise?

Do your bees cover all frames of the hive?
