What is the Queen Right Dial?

Tired of painting/marking bricks or pealing faded tape on your hives, losing your last queen status
Jason Crook, the owner of Bohemia Apiary in Warwick, MD, and Brian Koper, the owner of Castle Hives in Warren, OH, shared a common passion for beekeeping that extended beyond their own hives. Managing over 100+ colonies between their apiaries , they faced the daily challenges of keeping track of queen status and managing the intricate timeline of rearing a new queen.

Recognizing the need for efficient tools in the beekeeping community, Jason and Brian joined forces to create innovative solutions. The result? The QueenRightDial series, featuring the Status Indicator 2.0 for post-inspection queen tracking and the Mating Indicator for monitoring the timeline and status of queen rearing.
