I have just started using the new program: Hive Tracks. It's easy, free, user-friendly, and I can't wait to add things to it. Here's what the view of my Blue Heron hive record looks like:
Adding data is easy. It allows me to have a diagram on the right of the bee equipment on the hive (even including the slatted rack).
I'm so excited to use it.
The only drawback that I can see is that it doesn't have the set up to list a top bar hive - but I adapted and entered Topsy as a hive that lives in 1 deep box. No matter - I can still keep records here of my inspections and harvests (see how optimistic I am!).
These guys did the beekeeping community a real service by developing this software. Give it a try.
