In reply to Ilona.

Glad the record sheets were of use. It’s been a pretty good year for the bees so far this year. I caught a nice big swarm last night as well.
Feel free to share the link to the record sheets with others.

Alan.

Dear Alan, really like your Hive record sheets and thank you so much for providing a pdf.
My husband and son were desperate for something to do during Corona Virus lock down hence after myself keeping bees for 11 years they at last developed an interest in them. They both now have their own Nucs and I’ll get them started on the Detailed Inspection sheet to focus their minds.

Thank you so much for the information on bee management record keeping. I’ve registered with Bee Tight and can’t wait to utilize their system as I am a brand new beekeeper (4/18/20) in San Rafael, California, USA.

Spent an hour inventing a hive record sheet that captures what I want – only to find you have already done it and it is unhealthy better than mine! Well doneand thanks for sharing.

In reply to Karen Knight. Yep, still here and glad you like the record sheets. I need to check on our bees really as I've been away for a couple of weeks but it looks as though the weather is changing for the worse tomorrow. I hope they are OK at the bottom of the garden! Al.

Hello, hope you’re still around out there as the last post was last year. Just printed off a hive record sheet and going to use it this week, only had my bees for 2 weeks but loving every minute of it. Thanks for sharing this it’s great.

Thank you so much for the detailed hive record sheet.

My dad and my self have recently become bee keepers and have been searching for a non too complicated record sheet to keep track of the progress of the hive/hives.
We are in Somerset and have buck fast Leigh bees, their temperament seems ideal as they are non aggressive towards us.

Even though we are new to bee keeping it is in my opinion not a hobby as such but more of a calling to help nature revive the falling bee population as best we can.

Yours sincerely Shaun and John barker
