From: "Murray McGregor" " I think much record keeping is done (particularly
at the amateur scale)
> for record keepings sake, and is of little practical value"

I have found the comments from Bob and Murray very illuminating.  My problem
I now see was trying to combine keeping a running record on the state of the
colony (clearly best written on the hive itself) with noting the development
of the colony for analysis later, as a learning aid.  Next year - famous
phrase :) - I will keep a square of hardboard inside every hive roof to keep
a scrawled running record - and select just one or two colonies for full
observation, noted in a notebook.

Thanks to both.
