    Well this was my first show and I met a lot of people. I was able to accomplish seeing most of the products. Somehow I missed the queenright dial display. Not sure why. There were several people that I didn't find and meet you are one of them but no worries. I met Bruce and Greg so 2 out of 3 is ok I guess.

      The Queen Right Dial is an excellent tool where you can easily, Post-Inspection, mark the status of your colony. When combined with the mating indicator, all of the anxiety related to Queen Rearing is gone. Jason and I would love to see the QRD in your Apiary.
