Hivecard: Beekeeping Log

You open the hive, look things over, close it back up, and by evening half the details are gone. A beekeeping inspection log fixes that, and Hivecard is one built to be filled in at the hive rather than at the kitchen table later. It is aimed at hobbyists and small sideliner apiaries running a handful of colonies.

Each visit runs through the same short checklist: queen and eggs seen, brood pattern, mite count and the method you used, any treatments applied, supers added or removed, the colony's mood, and free-form notes. Because it knows the treatment threshold for an alcohol wash, sugar shake, or sticky board, it can flag a mite count that has crossed the line for that method. You can attach a photo, and, if you opt in, a weather snapshot for the day.

When the bee inspector calls, open the Report tab, pick a hive and a year, and Hivecard builds a PDF with the summary, a mite-trend chart, and the full log. There is also built-in reference material: the international queen-marking colors with this season's highlighted, and plain-English notes on reading brood.
