Hi , Somewhere I have seen a year to year chart/schedule on what color to mark new queens with each year. This is in hopes of having some standardization . Can anyone please point me in the right direction or forward that info to this thread ? Thanks! ---Burl---

4 or 9 green
it is in lots of books and Brushy mountain's catalog.
