## What is Stockbuch?

Hive Book – Simple Beekeeping Records

Hive Book helps you organize your apiaries and bee colonies and keep track of your work with each colony.

Record inspections directly at the apiary, document the queen, brood status, colony strength and food supply, and keep track of actions such as Varroa treatments or feeding.

Tasks and the calendar help you keep track of upcoming work. Appointments can optionally be added to the iOS Calendar. Bee colonies can be linked to NFC tags, allowing you to open the corresponding colony directly in Hive Book by scanning its tag.

Your Hive Book data can be exported as a PDF or saved and restored using the backup feature.
