Every Beekeeper Needs A Notebook

摘要

Several years ago an old beekeeping friend inquired, "Do you have a bee notebook?" I wasn't quite sure what he was talking about, so I asked him to explain. He shared with me how helpful it had been for him over the years to keep a notebook containinghis thoughts, reflections and activities in his beeyard. He went to his old pickup truck and came back with a three-ring binder in his hand. It was simply a notebook filled with paper. At the top of each page he had written the date and what he had doneor experienced in his apiary that day. He also had a section in his notebook for other items, such as where he purchased queens, ordered various pieces of equipment and a contact list of other local beekeepers. Needless to say, I was impressed! I did not have a bee notebook. But I decided that day that I was going to create my own.
