Single Brood Or Double Brood In Beehive

Single Brood Or Double Brood In Beehive that is the question!
Now I have been keeping bees since 2010 and I have tried double brood, single brood and brood and a half over the years.
This is one of those beekeeping topics that beekeepers vary massively on. Some beekeepers prefer single brood chambers others prefer the brood and a half and the rest go with double brood boxes.
Now for me living in Wales in the UK I keep everything as single brood box with all my hives. Commercial or National hive they get a single brood box.
Personally I found very little incentive to run bees on more than a single brood box in this part of the world. We don't get massive crops and the bees don't build up into monster hives....well some of them do!
That said I found that I get the same amount of honey from single brood box hives as I did with double. I keep bees for honey so why have the extra work of inspecting two boxes when you can get away with one!
