Book excerpt: John, Anita and Gill are likeminded hobbyist beekeepers that live in adjoining villages bordering West Berkshire and South Oxfordshire. They meet up regularly for support and to discuss all aspects of beekeeping. Of course discussions on swarming are always a hot topic! Join them for their take on the observational writings of Walter Wright, a retired NASA engineer, and his documented method of swarm prevention called Checkerboarding. This book aims to simplify Walter's original texts and offer it to UK beekeepers in an easy to follow format of how Checkerboarding can work for you. Of course we have included our own findings along the way...
