The negative recourse of confining the Queen to one deep, is the colony is
competing the available cells for brood and not adequate pollen stores.
Some even run 9 frames in the brood boxes, to complicate matters even
further.
Running one deep one super as a colony, is more about logistics of what
fits on a rig and what that load is worth in pollination. Is doing so, best
for the colony? Absolutely not.....
