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...

“Integrates history, technology, sociology, economics, and politics with this remarkable insect serving as the unifying concept” (Buffalo News). The tiny, industrious honey bee has become part of popular imagination—reflected in our art, our advertising, even our language itself with such terms as queen bee and busy as a bee. Honey bees—and the values associated with them—have influenced American culture for four centuries. Bees and beekeepers have represented order and stability throughout the changes, challenges, and expansions of a highly diverse country. Bees in America is an enlightening cultural history of bees and beekeeping in the United States. Tammy Horn, herself a beekeeper, offers a social and technological history from the colonial period, when the British first brought bees to the New World, to the present, when bees are being trained by the American military to detect bombs. Horn shows how the honey bee was one of the first symbols of colonization and how bees’ societal structures shaped our ideals about work, family, community, and leisure. This book is both a fascinating read and an “excellent example of the effects agriculture has on history” (Booklist). “A wealth of worthy material.” —Publishers Weekly

Dave Atherton first encountered bees in July 1955, when he helped to catch a swarm in his uncle's garden in Market Deeping, Lincolnshire. Note the school blazer and shorts. However, the sad truth is that he had no further involvement with bees for the next 39 years, when in 1994 he retired from his employment in a synthetic fibre factory, and a work colleague gave him a retirement gift of bees. Dave went on to be Secretary of the Roe Valley Beekeepers' Association for 10 years, Honey Show Manager for 15 years, and served in several positions on the Executive Committee of the Ulster Beekeepers Association. He is also a member of the Derry & District BKA. Several issues are now obliging him to reduce his beekeeping activities. Age (approaching four-score), health (not allowed to eat honey) and a severe allergy to bee stings, are all contributing to this decline.
