Facebook's Terms of Service [Sec. 1.6] prohibits more than 1 account. You may want to copy your profile content (photos, notes, etc.) and add it manually to your more active account. Unfortunately, there will be some things you cannot transfer, such as friends and Wall posts. Once you have moved all information onto a single account, you may deactivate your old account from the Settings tab of the Account page. Afterward, you can add email addresses and networks to your new account from the Account page.

You can't transfer anything over because Facebook doesn't allow you to have two accounts even if one will be no longer be used by you.

It is only possible to to transfer things if you are changing your account from a normal profile into a business or brand's Like page.
