Karen Ferguson will talk about taking notes and logs for each hive. Paying attention to what's going on in each hive is one thing, writing it down in a way that you can remember it is another. It's so important to know what the state of the hive was the last time you were in it so that you can see marked improvement, or decline at the current inspection. Over time, you will be able to look back in the notes to make more educated decisions.

Karen has provided the following hive log sheet in PDF format in prep for the meeting. If you can, print and bring to the meeting to have something up close while she speaks.
