Number Your Hives the Easy Way

If you're managing multiple hives, keeping track of them can quickly become a chore - especially during inspections or treatment cycles. One simple, durable, and cost-effective solution is to use cattle ear tags.

These brightly colored plastic tags are weatherproof, easy to read from a distance, and can be nailed or screwed directly on to the front of the hive. Numbering your hives with ear tags allows for fast identification, efficient recordkeeping, and clearer communication if others help manage your apiary.

No need for faded marker ink or confusing notes - just glance at the tag and log your updates. It's a rancher's trick that works perfectly in the bee yard!
