Checkerboarding (More Honey, Fewer Swarms)- Dick Brickner Interview

Dick Brickner was kind enough to walk me through his checkerboarding method.  Dick has been successful at preventing reproductive swarming with this technique, while also keeping hive numbers stable, and doubling the state average honey production.

I have seen several methods of checkerboarding and hope to document more over time.  Dick's method is labor intensive, but it works for him.

Note: if you purchase from my Amazon store, a tiny amount of money will come out of Amazon's pocket and go into mine.  The price to you is the same.  They have deep pockets and I don't, so your support is appreciated.
