Inspection record
Hive 3 (2026-08-20): Queen seen, solid brood pattern, calm temperament. Ready for honey extraction next week.
How the Beekeeping Hive Inspection Log works
- Record the same fields at every inspection, so entries are comparable.
- Note eggs even when the queen is not seen — eggs mean a laying queen was present within the last three days.
- Read the comparison against the previous visit, since a change between inspections is more informative than any single reading.
FAQ
Why record eggs if the queen was not seen?
Because eggs are evidence of a queen laying within the last three days. Finding the queen in a full colony is time-consuming, and eggs answer the question that matters without the search.
What does a patchy brood pattern indicate?
Several possibilities — a failing queen, disease, or inbreeding. It is a signal to look further rather than a diagnosis, and comparing against previous inspections shows whether it is worsening.
Are there legal reporting duties?
In many jurisdictions notifiable diseases must be reported to a bee health authority, and hive registration may be required. Those rules are local, and a private log does not satisfy them.
