The Beverton-Holt model is a classical population model which has been considered in the literature for the discrete-time case. Its continuous-time analogue is the well-known logistic model. In this paper, we consider a quantum calculus analogue of the Beverton-Holt equation. We use a recently introduced concept of periodic functions in quantum calculus in order to study the existence of periodic solutions of the Beverton-Holt q-difference equation. Moreover, we present proofs of quantum calculus versions of two so-called Cushing-Henson conjectures.
