The BANV Queen Producing Group's goals in collecting information are to be able to assess how well
the queen is doing; how well our queen producing efforts are succeeding; and what changes are needed
to improve our efforts. There may be other BANV members who are providing queens to the club.
Queens that excel will be tracked for future queen production. We hope that you will be willing to
propagate your successful queen in the future, however, this is optional.
