Records / information recorded on the apiary

[Adam]

I use a card similar to the one on this page - kept in a loose leaf binder indoors.

Adam. I am still using your mini nuc record sheet in my apideas so credit where credit is due. I have printed off hundreds of them over the past couple of years.

Grizzly, could you supply more info on the "APIS" disc you bought.

what it does, who makes it, what it cost, website etc

Thanks

[GRIZZLY]

Charlie email address is:- mike@computerlincs.co.uk who will assist you and give you all the information. Note the c in the address. The cost is £70.00 but it is a big programme. Took 3years to develop apparently.

Just installed the Apis programme - its mind blowingly huge and realy does cover everything you can think of. It's going to take some time to master it but will be more than worth it. Even covers designing and printing your own labels. Supplied with an excellent on line manual. I,ve now got the whole of winter to master the system.

I use this one - prefer one sheet of paper / site, when I have the time...

I use the free beetight software for my records. Free for the first 5 hives I think ? I find it useful enough although I have a terrible memory so should get into the habit of a Dictaphone thingy.

I think as I get more experienced at the actual beekeeping then I will get better at the recording.

Hi greengumbo
I didn't like the dictaphone 'cause I still wrote everything down back at base and mostly all you could hear was bee buzzing noises
