Title: Queen Calender Wheel (old school)
Post by: apisbees on July 10, 2014, 12:42:36 pm

I got my 1st hives in 1981 and in 1983 I designed a Queen Mating Calender Wheel. In 1985 I put Humpty Dumpty back together When a friends bought equipment for the commercial construction of beekeeping wooden ware equipment. that had been dismantled, hid, stolen,  cut in half, re-stolen and parts ceased. (but that is another story). In 1987 I went in and ran the shop for them and as a give away advertizing, we printed up some of the queen wheels and would give them away at the trade show that we set up in at conventions. I still get beekeepers that tell me that they still use them.
So as my 1,000 post I thought I would share it with my friends on this forum. I will post a JPEG as well as a attach it as a PDF.

The calender dates were chosen because of our beekeeping season north of the 49th but will work for most of the areas in the us and northern hemisphere.
Use and enjoy.

It will depend on the printer it is ok with my laser I don't know about on the ink jets. I will post a larger size and that may help.

Might have to select best quality..   My printer prints a base print of very low quality unless I change the settings just before I print
