>>>   got the main burst a month early, split and managed for swarms then.     <><><>  A way to combine swarm management and build for honey production would be a modification of splitting.   The tool used would bee using Snelgrove boards ( http://www.wbka.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/The-Many-Uses-Of-A-Snelgrove-Board-by-Wally-Shaw.pdf ).  With the Snelgrove board you make your splits, keep both splits together in one hive (two colonies) and use the resources of both colonies to produce honey.  There are multiple uses for the Snelgrove board including swarm management, mating nucs, overwintering nucs, two queen colony management, and honey production.
