Hive Log
Homesteadweight 1tracker · keeps what you put in
Bees keep meticulous records; beekeepers, historically, keep damp notebooks in the shed. The Hive Log upgrades your half of the arrangement: each hive or colony, the inspection date, whether the queen was sighted, the colony's temperament — from Gentle all the way to Wear the suit — and notes. Next inspection, you arrive knowing what you found last time.
This is not a screenshot. It's the real tool, running right here — go on, put something in it.

Questions people ask
What should I record during a hive inspection?
The date, whether you saw the queen, how the colony behaved, and anything notable in the notes — brood pattern, stores, space, swarm cells. Comparing entries across visits is how you catch a colony trending wrong before it is wrong.
What does the temperament scale mean?
It is your running read on the colony's mood: Gentle, Busy, Opinionated, or Wear the suit. When a normally gentle hive turns opinionated, that is information — often about the queen.
Does the Hive Log work out at the apiary with no signal?
Yes — it is one HTML file that runs offline in the browser, no account and no connection required. Nothing leaves the page; your hive records stay between you and the bees.
