Debbie Hewitt makes a good point.  When I started beekeeping in 1967 it was
with Dadant Jumbos from an old timer.  Only about five years later, when I
was unable to buy new Jumbos to expand, did I change to Langstroth.  There
is nothing wrong with using the Jumbo for a brood nest only.

In fact, in France Jumbos are almost exclusively used as brood nests, never
lifted, and all supers put on top.
