Has anyone seen how Mike palmer has duct tape on his hive roofs and writes on there? I use the tape but write differently to him. Just the date and a tick if all is good or a quick note if something needs monitoring etc.
But, any information I deem important goes in the notebook.
 
Something like this, it was in spring. Later on, nr. of columns I reduce as need for them no longer needed. Again, this I made how it suits me, I wasn't hunting perfection, just to I can understand and don't get lost.. At the end of season I just scroll right to see history of each colony per season..
