Observation journal

Turn routine care into useful knowledge

Consistent records reveal patterns that memory misses and help you react before a small problem becomes a colony-wide one.

01

Create the colony profile

Open My colonies, add the species, queen and worker counts, acquisition date, nest and current condition. Add a clear baseline photo.

02

Log events

On the colony page record brood changes, moulting, deaths, hibernation, moves and unusual behaviour. Attach photos when a visual comparison matters.

03

Record care actions

Use actions for feeding, protein type, hydration and maintenance. Short regular entries are more useful than rare long notes.

04

Review the trend

Compare worker and brood counts, appetite and condition over time. Change one environmental factor at a time and record the result.
