Has anyone used the cloake method of Queen raising? Anyone know of a good book or internet site that explains the cloake method?
Thanks for all the help

I used one this year to raise about 100 cells and loved it.

Here you can download an article by Sue Cobey in The American Bee Journal in 2005 concerning the uses of a cloake board. It is in 2 parts and is PDF format.

There isn't anything you can do with a cloake board that you can't do with a queen excluder and an extra bottom and top, you can just do it more conveniently. The use of it is to make a crowded queenless starter and then recombine it as a queenright finisher without having to disassemble things in order to do so. You just slide out the board.
