> Dr. Seeley has not yet tested whether the mite control afforded by keeping bees in a single Langstroth hive will also work if they are kept in a 1-1/2 tall hive. 

Maybe not, but he mentioned it in his articles. In any case, it is of limited usefulness. 

For example, having a truck brings all sorts of problems: cost, maintenance, insurance, etc. One solution would be to get a bike, but for most people who use trucks all the time, that's not an attractive option. 

To go from getting 100-200 pounds per hive to 1 or 2 frames per hive, is this worth even talking about?
