Great flick; much more intense plot than I had expected.
 
Q: In the tupelo yards depicted, all the colonies appear to be run as two
deep chambers, with excluder between, queen below.  Now I know they didn't
need to get technical, but I'm wondering -- are apiaries commonly managed
like that down there?  Or -- is this frequent practice on unique flows like
tupelo?
 
I remember reading that the apiaries in China are usually run this way,
with honey being removed from the upper box for extracting (on many
frequent visits).  This in lieu of tiering up the supers --the hives get no
taller.
 
I apologize if this was asked before when the movie came out - it was a
rental before I got to see it.
 
Thanks!
