Honey from one hive into another

[Draginol]

I have 3 hives this year.  One hive is doing great.  Another hive I think got exposed to some pesticides but is recovering and the third hive is doing awful.

The third hive has no honey. I've been feeding them rigorously and they're taking it.  Today, i saw they had again gone through all the jars of sugar water (I had 5 in there) and didn't have any sugar.  So I took a frame of capped honey from one of the other hives and put it in there. 

My question is, was this the right thing to do?  I also didn't remove all of the bees (I got most of them off but not all). What will happen to the remaining bees that ended up in the new hive?

it's fine.  i have swapped frames of brood for frames of honey when trying to requeen hives and both do ok.  the workers that are swapped don't seem to be a problem.
