Was brain storming thoughts on the above question and the following thoughts came to mind. Ya'll might want to add to the list and let's all try to make a comprehensive composit of our wants and needs. The program should be able to track individual hives on a time line. It should provide some kind of spreadsheet to include all expenditures and incomes. It should be able to track inventory. Depreciation of assets should be included for tax purposes. The information should be available in a simple enough form to be able to transfer needed information into tax sheets (Be accessable by the current tax programs?). At the end of the season, or at the appropriate time the beekeeper should be able to evaluate each hive as to productivity, strength, resistance to disease and pests, readiness to overwinter and winter hardiness. I currently keep daily track of the local weather and am trying, with my limited knowledge, to make notes of any nectar supporting blooming that takes place. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
