Sticky Numbers

[Hachi]

Sadly, I'm getting to the age where if I don't write it down its forgotten. So what, to aid my note taking I need to number my hives and was wondering what brand or method do you use to number your hives?

hooks on every brood box, a numbered check for every queen, if the queen moves, the number moves with her.

Have used the old screwed on numbers sold by Thornes et al for several years, but it really knackers my ocd if I have to combine colonies

Going down the numbered disc route next year too

Got red ones for hives and blue for nucs

Paint number on roof. If queen moves, roof moves.

Excellent ... I've been struggling this year with numbers and letters. Fresh start from the New Year I'm thinking!

These also look the same for a quid less ... or these for a fiver

 

[For want of a better word]

My hive record card moves with the queen.... record lives in roof of hive and is updated each visit... also on separate sheet.

Have little plastic stripseal bags for hive card as insects and occasional rodent has been known to have a nibble!!

Polly nucs and apidea / keilers etc all have numbers branded into the roof and boxes.

works for me

Ditto Newbeeneil, have these on my hives. Held on by spare Thones brass nails. Sit in my truck and fill out record cards, easy to see the discs.

I made hive numbers on my laptop with MS Word. I included my name and contact details then laminated them. They're stapled to the hives
