What Northern Queen Initiative does
Program
The Northern Queen Initiative (nqi) operates a direct charitable program that runs a hands-on, cooperative breeding network to strengthen honey bee genetics in cold-climate states. Its work focuses on providing free and low-cost education in queen-rearing, on-farm training, and an open-source breeding protocol using locally adapted survivor stock selected for gentle behavior and natural mite resistance. Participants advance through two tiers: certified queen breeders, who raise and report on improved queens, and queen rearers, who help mate and distribute those queens while gaining experience. Nqi promotes pollinator resilience through a community-driven approach without relying on prophylactic chemicals.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2023, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2023, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2023 to 2024, from $100 to $2k (+1795%).
Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
