country that is favourable for spring build up, so beekeepers have used 
it for a hundred years.

Also one brood box is the norm in Aust.  Bees would mostly go on as one 
super hives and seven or eight frames of brood.  Come off ready to 
swarm.  I might add that the macas have not changed things as far as 
bees are concerned.
