Our queen management system is designed to manage the lifecycle of the queen bees in our apiary. Here are the key activities and their timelines:
| Date | Activity |
|---|---|
| Graft date | The date when the grafting process starts. |
| 3 days after graft date | Move the brood back from the incubator and count the number of cells that have been started. |
| 10 days after graft date | Move the cells to the mating nucs. |
| 20 days after graft date | The queen will have been mated and start laying. |
| Queen pull | The number of days entered in the form egg laying day. |
| Second graft | Done 10 days before the queen pull. |
We store the graft date and the number of days of egg laying in the database. This helps us to track and manage the lifecycle of each queen bee.
