More bees with small cells?

The report states:

> In one of the studies, ending colony bee population was significantly higher in small-cell colonies (14994 ± 2494 bees) than conventional-cell (5653 ± 1082). [However] the chief interest in small-cell technology resides in its potential as a nonchemical limiter of Varroa population growth. By this criterion, the present results are not encouraging. The ending number of mites in brood, percentage of mite population in brood, and mites per 100 adult bees were significantly higher in small-cell colonies
