About

Bee Ledger

Features
Read full description

Bee Ledger is the field calculator for A.N. Bees yard work. Count a yard the way you work it: pallets, empty holes, and hive stacks from singles, doubles, and so on. Mark feed, treat, and pollen patties (plus your own checks). Track color ribbon counts—including photos when you need to fit a ribbon mark—and build a clear copy of the session for Notes or another app. Ribbons mark what a hive needs or has—old queen, strong hive, and more. We include the defaults we use; you’re welcome to make your own in Settings. Enter the yard name and your name so Copy and Save and done put the right label on the record. Save and done keeps the latest yard on this iPhone; Cancel leaves without saving that pass. Made for beekeepers and yard crews who need fast, accurate counts without a clipboard full of paper.
