How to use

Attach the indicator to your hive lid or body with the included screws. Mark your start point on the dial, usually the egg or graft stage, then rotate it through each phase: egg (days 1 to 3), graft (day 4), cell or larva (days 5 to 7), capped (day 8), do-not-disturb pupa (days 9 to 14), emerging (days 15 to 17), mating flights (days 18 to 23), and confirm mated by eggs (days 24 to 31). Reference the timeline to avoid disturbing the colony during sensitive periods.
