I read an article from Megan Milbrath showing data about overwintering survival rates and single deeps doing better than double deeps. I’ve overwintered colonies in singles quite successfully in Zone 5. Depending on the colony and my goals they can remain single deeps with supers or expand into a double which can be split in late summer to overwinter as 2 singles. I love managing this way. Thanks for the video.

Single brood management is old school.<br>I've been keeping bees 40 years in Arkansas that's all I ever done.

Great introduction with clear reasoning. Thanks!

I’m not saying that anything you are claiming in the video is wrong, but I am saying that every one of the advantages was an advantage for the Beekeeper and not for the bees

I'm hoping this will be a 'how to' series.

Here in Denver zone 6a will be trying single brood chamber management. Lots of pros. <br> You just need to be more attentive ( input ) to the hives. Thank you.

just starting my beekeeping journey this year. I'm doing this single brood box.
@redbaron8989 · 2 years ago
Great info! I was wondering what percentage of the brood box is typically stored honey in say September? Have you ever inspected the bottom (brood box) in September? Please keep these videos coming!!

So, I'm looking for your videos as you progress through the new single hive program. I can't find them

I wonder why nobody in the us works with Dadant. That would be the simple answer to all this discussions.
