OBS: It will be possible to run the software permanently as ADMINISTRATOR by following this guideline :

 run as administrator  

Before you decide to skip this web I want to point out that this is not only for my software but also about other beekeeping stuff. So please take a look around. I want to mention that this homepage is old from 2010, and this web is just set set up from a backup  I digged up and has been hidden away for a long time, because the server has been dead. to day is 25/04 2017.

Download the manual to the software English manual and read it please. I also want to mention that all my software also runs on the new windows 10, but some need to be run as administrator until further noted on this place. Sorry for this but I am looking into the software again to fix this issue..

On my web I have put up a little software (runs on the following systems: win95, win98, win 2000, winXP, windows Vista 32Bit,  Vista 64Bit as Administrator, Also tested on new windows7 ultimate 64bit).
This software can print out a hive note card. You can edit the labels to your needs and there are Columns that you can use and change the labels to. It can be used as an individual hive card or as a general hive note for the apiary.

It also shows what my apiary software handles, and you can edit my software to follow your edited hive note card from within the tools menu.

The card also shows the possibilities in my hive note software, and the hive note card is in my concept used to transfer data from the apiary to my home where I can enter the data into my apiary software.

If you do not want to use my apiary software you can use the hive note card as a template for a excel spreadsheet.

Software for hive note-queen breeding and handheld computers. Last revised and bug tested 
June  2004 a lot of revision made .

If anybody out there can help me with the languages not full supported or support with a new language not mentioned you can download the language manager tool which also works under win10 : Language manager

Bidata now up to Scandinavian (and many other) Standards. The 2004 edition includes the following :

1. Queen breeder Register card (build on the Swedish queen register card) with dropdown lists for a lot of stuff.
2. Index calculation on hives can give a help to determine, which hives to keep. It also gives access to a graphic show of hives that gives a visual sight  to compare from..
3. Disease form with dropdown lists for diseases, treatment and control.
4. the forms have changed to tabbed notebook format to get a better overview. 
5. Number of frames in a hive is now reflected when you enter a new hive-note.
6. Multi-selection of hives to handle. means that you only have to e.g. enter disease treatment ones and then by accepting the entries, add to all selected hives. This also goes for data entries to hives and some of the hive manipulations. To multi-select use Ctrl + mouse-click. 
7. Hives in a yard can be additional grouped. Such as identified by placement on e.g. pallets. If grouped the hives will be kept together.  Hives can also be marked colored, so that it is easy to spot a hive on the screen. E.g. a hive you must follow, or a group of hives to visual make it more easy to spot on the screen.
8. dial up your queen breeder from within software
9. You can let the software create the first records for all your families and at the same time group them.
10. Barcodes to identify your hives with can be created and put on Avery labels or printed out on letter paper. the barcodes will contain visual information on hive and queen too.
11. The palm OS software now also support scanning of hive labels to place you on the correct record on the Palm OS compatible Handheld device.
12. backup of data added. If you use this facility when leaving the software, you will have the ability to restore data after an eventually power failure.
13. The manual is again in the archive but see it just as a guideline, the help is updated and much more instructive.

The Story

I am Danish, I live in Denmark and I was born in 1942. (Yes I am not that young any longer) I was a teacher and have been keeping bees since 1970. Officially, I have few hives, but have equipment enough for thirty hives. I use full Langstroth hives and my bees are regional bees. I have an average honey harvest of 45kg a year, which is an improvement from my first years when I had around 15kg. I got my first computer (a Zx81) in 1981 and started to investigate programming for this animal :-) It had only 8Kb of memory but it was fun. In 1986 I put a fortune into a real computer (Amstrad 1512) and from then on the next story starts: the EDBi foundation.

I heard that there was a foundation for EDB interested beekeepers being formed, and got in touch with them to see if they had some software I could use for my beekeeping. It turned out that they had none, but were looking for people who could help them in this field. I had built my own software, so I offered to work voluntarily for them in creating a useful software tool for beekeeping. The first result was an MS-DOS based hivenote collection program. I of course based this software on inputs from the members of the EDBi foundation. The software program was offered to the Danish beekeeper society in 1987. The members in the EDBi foundation were my testing crew, and with time the software improved. The members of EDBi are all kinds of people, from some with very few hives to people who are living from beekeeping. Some have been members from the very start until today. In 1994 I decided to create a Win 3.1 software program based on my previous work. This software was presented at the Apimondia Congress in Lausanne, Switzerland in 1995. I made some very good contacts there with people who have helped me to improve the language support.

In 1996 I tried to figure out this Internet story, so I got an account with 5Mb space. This has now improved, some people on the Internet have given me space on their websites, and I have also got my own website in Australia where I am now putting up an 'EDBi' Support website with discussions, bug reports and suggestion facilities. I really hope that people will use this website to give me responses concerning bugs and suggestions.

I hope I have not been too boring, and if so, I beg your forgiveness.
