Hive Inspection & Harvest Log
Most small apiaries run on memory: you know roughly which hive was queenless in May and roughly how much came off in August. That works until a jar needs tracing back to a harvest. These two print-and-use pages are the ones that turn a hobby into a business you can stand behind.

What it does
- A print-and-use hive inspection log — one row per visit for queen, brood, stores, temperament, pests and the action needed, so every inspection informs the next.
- A harvest & honey-lot sheet — one row per lot for the hives, frames, net weight, moisture and jars filled, so every jar traces back to a harvest.
- A jar-size quick reference from a 2-oz favor to a 5-lb pail, with the net honey weight each holds and roughly how many fill from a gallon.
- The harvest-to-jars math: net honey (gross bucket minus the empty bucket) ÷ the jar’s fill weight = the jars to fill and label.
- Prints on US Letter or A4 and lives in the honey room — no laptop near the extractor.
Own it, don't rent it
Want to know what a jar actually costs you?
These two pages record. The full logbook prices — a true cost-per-jar that includes your jars, labels, lids and your own time, honey-lot traceability across a whole season, hive-by-hive productivity so you know which colonies actually earn their keep, and the pricing tabs that turn a harvest into a wholesale and retail price you can defend.
A one-time purchase you keep season after season — the owned record between a notebook in the honey room and guessing at your price.
A record-keeping reference, not food-safety, labelling or regulatory advice. Honey labelling, moisture standards and cottage-food rules are set locally and are yours to confirm. Hosted free on Ardent Seller, our software for makers. Free to use; please don’t resell or redistribute.
