Eggs in the last three days = queen alive — log it or you'll forget
Beekeeping inspections are dense — a hive holds tens of thousands of decisions, and you're trying to make sense of all of it in 15–20 minutes before the bees lose patience. The trick to consistent record-keeping is a fixed-column log: brood, queen seen?, stores, pests, treatment — every inspection, every hive.
Brood (eggs / larvae / capped) is the calendar: eggs prove the queen was there in the last 72 hours, larvae span the next week, capped covers the following 12 days. A hive with no eggs and no larvae is *queenless* — and you have about a week to fix it.
Pests / disease column captures the varroa mite count from your alcohol or sugar wash, plus visual cues for chalkbrood, foulbrood, or small hive beetle. Don't wait until a treatment threshold to start tracking.
Use the next action column as your honey-do list for the apiary — "add second deep on next inspection" is a sentence you will absolutely forget by Sunday morning.
