Colony Management & Recordkeeping Software
The purpose of colony management and record keeping software is to make beekeepers’ work easier. Electronic recordkeeping enables beekeepers to input data about their colonies and apiaries directly into a recordkeeping system. This information, in turn, enables beekeepers to manage their colonies more efficiently and effectively. For example, data gathered during a hive inspection enables beekeepers to prepare the supplies and equipment for the next apiary visit, to estimate when the next visit should take place, and the time required to carry out the needed actions. The data will also enable the beekeeper to calculate the cost/benefit of various locations, queens, equipment, and practices. Furthermore, pooling ones’ data with that of other beekeepers having similar goals, methods, and circumstances enables an automated comparison of methods and outcomes. For example, determining which methods lead to fewest colony losses, most honey harvested, etc. In short, the collaborative bootstrapping of beekeeping expertise.
HiveTracks Vision: a platform supporting all levels of beekeeping activity… Our network of beekeepers will evolve into a vibrant, collaborative community; voluntarily sharing data, best practices, products, and services. Our comprehensive solutions will positively impact honey bee health, the success of beekeepers, and the demand for healthy food. The data we capture will lead to a deeper understanding of honey bee health and its linkage to global food security.
