I name my queens and the hive records are kept under this reference. I keep meaning to put a label on the crown board with the queens name on so that I don't need to rely on memory as to which colony is which, particularly after they move sites. I just haven't got round to it yet.
The code for each queen shows the maternal line, for example the first colony I got, the queen was recorded as I, then her daughters were IA and IB. Their daughters are for example IA1 etc. 30 years down the line it could be a problem and will need to have a rethink (any ideas?) but at the moment it saves me having to keep a separate record for the family tree.
