Queen Selection/Record Keeping
« on: November 25, 2014, 02:49:19 am »
 I'm trying to improve my record keeping.  I want to keep better track of each Queens lineage/pedigree over the years. I'm thinking of taking digital pictures and keeping them on file, so I can compare each generation.  Can anyone pass on their methods and some kind of spread sheet? I'm wondering if anyone has a record keeping sheet that is geared at recording all the details of the queen.

Thanks.

You can track the matrilineal line but unless you are doing II you will have no idea where half the genetics comes from...
