My experience has been its fine for the summer, but as fall comes around the bees often chose a side leaving one queen to die. I have found them stumbling around on the top bars with less then a dozen bees left.. I messed up this year leaving them connected a bit to long and 3 out of 4 of my side by sides with a common feeder/super picked a side.
I think a divided feed shim to keep the colonies separate, or 2 separate ones would be a better plan
