People enquire from time to time on this list about specialized software for beekeeping. At the ABA convention, Mynista Support Services of Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada had a booth and were showing off their work. They have developed in conjunction with Hat Honey Farm a good-looking beekeeping program that might fill the bill for many. The complete (very comprehensive and illustrated) help file is on the web for perusal, and free download of a trial version is available at http://www.mynista.com/beekeeper/default.htm I've looked at it and am quite impressed. I have not tried it - yet. Evaluating software is a big job and the trial version expires after only a month. I doubt I could evaluate it that quickly -- even in the busy season, when I would be able to test it with real data. The software can function in conjunction with a PDA as well as a desktop machine, I understand. See http://www.mynista.com/beekeeper/nomad.htm allen http://www.internode.net/HoneyBee/Dairy/
