What an inspection records

• “General Information” — hive, date, how long the inspection took, and the weather: temperature, conditions, wind speed and direction.
• “Queen” — “Queen seen?”, “Queen quality”: excellent, good, average, poor, declining. Whether there are queen cells, and if so of what type (swarm, supersedure or emergency) and how many.
• “Brood” — “Frames with brood”, “Brood types” (eggs, larvae, sealed brood, drone brood) and “Brood pattern”.
• “Food Stores” — how much honey in kilograms, “Frames with honey”, frames with pollen, and the “Needs feeding” switch, which automatically creates a feeding job for this colony.
• “Colony Strength” — “Frames covered by bees”, your own rating of the colony from “Very weak” to “Very strong”, and its temperament.
• “Health” — notes on diseases and pests.
• “Actions Performed” — what you did on this visit: added a box, fed syrup, replaced the queen, clipped her wings, cleaned the floor and so on.
• “Notes and photos” — free text, an “Overall rating” and photographs.

An inspection is tied to the hive, and through it to whichever colony was standing in that hive on the date of the inspection. That is why moving a colony leaves its inspection history completely intact.
