What this sheet is for
Record the harvest hive by hive with a batch code, which is what makes traceability possible if a jar is ever queried.
Who it is for
Beekeepers with one hive or twenty, and anyone selling honey at the gate.
How to use it
- Record which hive the honey came from before it goes in the tank.
- Give every extraction a batch code and put it on the jar labels.
- Record moisture if you measure it — it decides whether it will ferment.
- Total the year by hive; it is how you learn which colonies earn their keep.
What is on the sheet
The layout is fixed at a size that fits both A4 and US Letter, so the A4 and Letter files are visually identical and print at full size on either. Rows are set at a height that an adult can actually write a date and a few words into with a pen — most printable tables are built in a word processor and never tested with one.
Questions
What do I have to put on a honey label?
That is set where you are, and it usually covers country of origin, weight, batch identification and a best-before date — with real penalties for getting it wrong. Check your own food authority. This sheet records the batch; it does not design the label.
