In a previous (maybe too long) post, I asked the following question
and am still wondering if anyone has the answer:
 
>I remember now that Kevin Ward (from California) was up here last
>month and mentioned that he was using single broods and that he felt
>that he was able to treat better - and cheaper - for mites and that it
>didn't seem to affect his ability to get good buildup.
 
>I though it a little peculiar and I didn't realise that this is a
>general change in California.
 
>I wonder how this affects the standards for pollinating hives?
 
> I know our pollination standards up here specify two brood chambers.
 
I wonder about this, seeing as pollination is becoming more important
in Alberta and I'm considering getting involved sometime.
