Hi,

I've just started queen rearing down here in Surrey and last week my first round of grafting didn't go too badly with over 50% acceptance for my very first go - which surprised me.

I've simply picked the two best queen I have to breed from but was wondering if there were any recommended way of recording your queen breeding over successive seasons so you can track the lines and performance.

I'm doing this at very small scale with a dozen or so hives - any advice will be gratefully received.
