[QUOTE="Maggie, post: 9251, member: 71"] 1 or 2 brood boxes is a management decision that varies in different parts of the climate; generally taking into weather, pollen and nectar sources, pollination contracts. If you are only using 1 x 3/4 depth brood box, you might have difficulty with it swarming. When the honey is taken off later in the season, with increased space for the bees, you will definitely need to be aware of swarming. 1 x 3/4 brood box may not give you enough young bees in autumn to get you thru the winter. To survive winter, the colony must go into winter with young bees in the hive. [/QUOTE]
