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.
Instructions: Print PDF file on card stock cut the top circle on the outside line. The bottom can be left square or cut out in a circle also. Poke a hole in the center and put in a Brass Plate Fasteners, 1/2"
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.
