I work with 2 queens per box. Yes, I am very satisfied and found a way to make use of weaker colonies that I combine into 2 queen hives. And thus a full producing unit.
If you really keep those queens tight on few combs only, swarming is not much of an issue. You need to bleed out brood and bees once you reach a certain point. Not only because of swarming, but plainly because of the masses of bees in those hives.
