Apian HelpWhat queen statuses mean
You choose these in the “Queen Status” field:
| Status | When to use it |
|---|---|
| Virgin | Emerged, but not yet mated |
| Introduced | Placed in a colony, acceptance not confirmed |
| Accepted | The colony took her |
| Rejected | The colony did not take her |
| Laying eggs | Working normally |
| Sick | Something looks wrong |
| Review | Needs a closer look |
| Replace | Marked for replacement |
| Culled, Died, Lost, Sold | The queen is no longer in the colony |
When you switch to “Died”, “Lost”, “Sold” or “Culled”, the app warns you that she will leave the colony and the hive, her period will be closed, and it cannot be undone.
Queens with the “Review” and “Replace” statuses are collected on the home screen under “Queens: attention required”. I would use those two statuses right there at the hives: you see spotty brood, you set “Review”, and by the evening you have a list of what to come back to.
