[QUOTE="tristan, post: 1896, member: 30"] couple of issues with 9's in brood boxes. one is simply burr comb or that end frames gets filled with honey right out to the box. that then creates issues if you need to move it and kinda defeats the point of having 9. the other is if you remove 1 frame you remove 1/10th of the lay space. with single FD your a bit undersized to start with and loosing lay space simply makes it worse. that adds to swarming pressures and slow build up.
