Grandpa's field notebook
Learn Beekeeping By Reading The Hive
BKPR now pairs the playable bee yard with a growing field notebook. These lessons are intentionally practical: inspect the colony, make a management choice, then watch the realistic hive model respond over time. The detailed teaching material can grow here as it is written.
Queenright colonies
Practice reading eggs, brood pattern, queen cells, and laying status before choosing an action.
Mites and disease
Use BKPR's mite pressure model as a prompt for real management habits like washes and timed treatments.
Honey harvest
Separate colony food from surplus honey so the crop does not come at the expense of colony health.
