That is not doing a broodnest to me. For you also have to have 2-3 frames of honey each side for heat and cold thermoregulation, plus back storage usage for lull times. So to me that is about 5-6 frames max for brood in each box with rest honey, for more security for having live bees. Also why 3 deeps used to be common size for unlimited broodnest chambers. Then aboe that used to be honey surplus for taking/getting.
