Last summer I found a great way to keep notes on each colony. I simply got some pint zip lock bags from the grocery store. I cut up paper to fit flat inside those bags and write my notes on the paper. Seal the zip lock and put the bag on top of the inner cover under the telescoping cover. My pens get all covered with propolys. If I use a spiral notebook it gets all glued up. But a permanent sharpy and the paper in the zip lock seems to survive really well. And, the notes are right with the colony so I can tell the history at a glance without even opening the zip lock baggy.
Obviously this idea is no good for migratory covers. But sure works nice for me.
