A very useful download!
It's an excel file, which you add the date to so it calculates the dates you need to do various things for different methods of queen rearing.

The original Microsoft Excel file was written by Angus Stokes and Albert Knight to provide an interactive way to prepare timetables for using the Jenter or Cupkit Cellplug Box.

This is a more comprehensive version of “Tom’s Table” that has been rewritten by Roger Patterson in 2015, to include other methods of producing queen cells and to correct one error. This version covers grafting, cell punching, cell plugs, Miller/Alley and Morris Board methods.
