> Glyn Davies,  Ashburton, Devon UKThe Australasian Beekeeper for February 1996 p.336 adapted an article on 
record keeping from The Scottish Beekeeper, vol.72 no.10, author unknown. 
Article proposes a spreadsheet, column titles and a method of shorthand 
to capture details. Details from the spreadsheet should then be entered 
into a PC for sorting and analysis. I’m going to have a go with Microsoft 
Excel and try it out on my hives then use Excels’s sorting capability 
once details are entered. Happy to share my experiences as it progresses. 
I suspect a refinement of this method using the data base tool Microsoft 
Access would be the Rolls Royce method. I can scan and send the article 
to those interested. Copyright should not be an issue. Peter Barrett,
