Velbert,

I liked your site and some of your spreed sheets.

This will be my first year trying to raise some local queens. I would like to know what it cost me to do so. Last year was my first at raising bees it went well.
I will try to split the four hives I have now this spring them raise queens from them. I will start out by using the cloake method. Also were did you get the 6pak mating nuc's?

Like I said I am new and have limited knowledge of this so by chance do you have something written down to help a Rookie properly fill out the form?

Thanks for the information.
Brooklyn

The cell are password protected. the word to unlock the cells is (edit) will unlock the cells
Just Fill in the gray areas as you do you task even if you sale your queens put that down

The areas to the right when you buy something put date and price down in the appropriate areas

place in the number of mating nucs the cost of each and as the years go by enter how many years they have been in use

Here are some measurement's for the 4 frame mini nuc i use a 1x12 for these fill the gray areas make sure you do not change one that has a formula in them. Formula's should not be in the gray area but could have colored cell wrong
