# Re-queening Hives

If you want to record data about why you re-queened on a site. use the observations section of any job card. If you ticked yes to why did you requeened, you can select a reason for why you requeened and how many times for that reason. You can log several reasons as shown in the screenshot below. The example below shows that I requeened 6 hives for three different reasons.
