The spreadsheet

List your hives once, then log inspections and harvests. The hive sheet shows the number of inspections, last inspection date, days since (flagged after 14 days), latest mites per 100 bees and total honey for each colony. This is an XLSX file, not a Google Sheets link.

Great for

New and experienced backyard beekeepers, homesteaders, bee club members and a thoughtful gift for a beekeeper.

How it works

1. Buy and download instantly from your Etsy account (Purchases & Reviews) — Etsy will also email you a link.
2. Open the PDF in a free PDF reader such as Adobe Acrobat Reader (desktop or mobile) to type into the fields and save. Some built-in browser or phone previewers may not save form fields, so Acrobat Reader is recommended.
3. Or print at home or at a print shop on standard paper and fill it in by hand. Print pages more than once if you need extra copies.
