It seems like never quite enough.

But in addition to the locations of outyards, dates hives were installed,
yard "rent" given out, sales and expenses/miles (important for small guys
to keep track of them in a notebook), I also keep track of:

- mite counts
- treatments (date, dose)
- losses (date, location, suspected cause)
- increases (date, location)
- honey yields (boxes per yard only, don't have time to weigh or keep track
of individual hives)
- equipment inventories
- "business plans"
- grafting schedules

I've never been good at keeping track of hive genetics, and every year I
say I'm going to do it this year, and never do. Just can't seem to organize
it.
