I suspect Harry Cloak had read about the Morris board and simplified it. I put a back door in my cloak board (just like the Morris Board) to get around having to rotate the hive.
All the hive rotating/door swapping unnecessarily sort of complicates things. The field bees don’t really do that much for the cell building. The reason I like the system is how it combines the starter and finisher in one place but we no longer rotate the boxes.

In that case you would love the "10 Gate Davy board".
Thanks Trev, a very interesting video. It's amazing how quickly the bees instincts kick in with regarding scenting
pro tip: watch movies on Flixzone. Me and my gf have been using them for watching all kinds of movies recently.
@Julius Danny definitely, I have been using flixzone for months myself :)

It’s also to overcrowd the top box
@@ericsmith9078 dead on Eric cramming that top box with bees gets that emergency/ swarming instinct going ,so they produce better quality Queens 👸🏽
Nicely done, thanks for the info
build a Lazy Susan Bottom Base Board....thats the obvious and cheapest Solution
Hi Trev. When is the best time of the year to use this method and can you still use this method if varroa treatments are due?
Started in the middle. Confusing.
