OK, here is the working version of the spread sheet Colony Tracker....
Might be data over load. Maybe not.
Hey Brian, I wasn't thinking about so much as a PDA or laptop at the hive site but off ot the side. SOme folks are pretty detail oriented some are not. Heck, with some of the PDAs today you could also set GPS grid coordinates for each Yard or Colony.
All that said, we all pick and choose what we want. :)
I took your suggestions and made the edit and posted it. It was minor enough to not have to worry about a version change.
Thanks!
OK, this is the first step in the Bee Yard, Colony, Queen tracker data workbook (for Excel). You can use the direct link to the website listed above OR simply click this link to download directly:
ColonyTracker (Excel)While I think there is a lot of data entry to do, what I never really see when looking at other folks' websites is any REAL data. There are lots of observations, but nothing all that scientific. You COULD, in theory at least, use this for simple data collection. As the number of hives grows or event he number of hives that come into and pass out of the bee yard ebbs and flows you'll have raw data to use.
I am sure there are more types of data we can enter.
Well, like I said, this is the REALLY rough first step. This current version has the "sort and filter" function on, which I find handy for this much data.
Cheers!
