There are many other advantages of having all your brood in 1 box. When bees get ready to swarm, they build swarm cells on the bottom of the top brood box frames where you can’t see them. When you have this 22 frame brood box, all the cells will be on the bottom where you can see them through your screened bottom board if you use a queen excluder. An other advantage is, you have 22 frames in the same space, and instead of 20 you have 22. Another advantage is you have 22 frames for the bees to crawl though instead of 10 to get to the supers, this stops crowding and cuts back on swarming.
