Tired of painting/marking bricks or pealing faded tape on your hives, losing your last queen status, forgetting what action needs to be done next?We take your colony and queen status to the next level! The QueenRightDial - Max Indicator was created by beekeepers for beekeepers to help provide a simple tool to flag your queen status and next action using a dial affixed to the surface of your hive body or lid. After inspecting your colony, turn the dial to reflect the status of your queen. Along with your queen status, the Max Indicator allows you to dial in your next action: Inspect the colony, Treat the colony, Feed the colony, Add Space to the hive, or Harvest honey/pollen. We have also conveniently placed actions that sometimes occur simultaneously next to each other so that the beekeeper can split the indicator to select two actions.
