You might want to try this.
One question is “Please indicate the number of queens that you intentionally
raised e.g. any you grafted or raised naturally through the colony. Please
do not include unplanned queens e.g. those lost through a swarm.”

Subject: Defra Honey Bee Survey Queen Replacement Practices
Dear Beekeeper,
Defra are seeking to develop a greater understanding of queen replacement
practices currently carried out by beekeepers in England. At the link below
you will find a short survey which we encourage all beekeepers to complete.
The results of this survey will be factored into our consideration of future
support options for English beekeepers.
Your assistance in improving our knowledge of this practice is greatly
appreciated.
The survey will remain open until 16th April 2018.
