Hive record sheet

[FROGDOGDIVER]

Thanks admin.

Easy enough to raise a few, and here to help.

That sounds good. Would love to have a go at raising a few queens. Any advice would be gratefully received.

First draft is here: HIVE RECORD SHEET

I like it.

i guess people need to decide if they want a sheet every time they inspect or just update 1 card for the whole season.

i use the beecraft queen and colony record cards, just one card for the whole season, saves on filling up folders with reams of A4.

What do they look like sweetums

 

[grizzly]

A5 in size, and theres also data on the reverse, this is not a good image, to be honest at the time i did not know any better, and bought them, but when the cards are used up i wont buy any more, just do my own in a word doc, or devise an A4 chart in landscape.

Sweetums any chance you could put one together for everyone who is looking for a smaller version of mine ?

 

[grizzly]

I could have a go, they would probably end up looking like the sheets SteveH uses, basically 1 line for each visit.

I think its one of those tasks that will differ with each and every one of us, i do sometimes find those A5 cards a little small on the notes/comments section.

Will have a look over the weekend, if i dont get distracted by the sun.

very useful, have kept records for a month - in the heat of the moment [when bees are bad tempered] this record acts as plan for next visits.

Hi All, I like your detailed inspection sheet the more the better for new bees as you can start building pictures and a word written is worth a thousand spoken

This is what I use, its used by anyone in the Local association print both sides of a sheet of card with each file(one is front other is back, lasts a season when laminated and left under cb or can be hole punched and fitted in a folder.View attachment 1652

This is also a record card but for queen rearing for anyone planning to do any this year, it can help, also a small card to go in nucs if you want to
