Summary: In today’s video, Ray Hewitt unboxes and tests a brand-new solution from Germany: the PSK Beekeeping Record Card system. This unique system combines a rugged, pin-based physical board that stays on your hive with a powerful mobile app that scans your data and automatically generates progress graphs.
What we cover in this video:
Unboxing the PSK System: See exactly what comes in the box, from the mounting options (screws vs. Velcro) to the 15-pin tracking system.
Field Demonstration: Watch how easy it is to record hive number, colony strength, brood status, and queen details—including her age based on the international color code.
The App Experience: We show you the “secret sauce”—how the app scans the physical card to create a digital history of your hive’s health and food stores.
Pros & Cons: Ray shares his expert opinion on what’s missing (like mite counts) and how it compares to other methods like Post-it Notes or the Queenright Dial.
Join the Conversation: We are considering becoming a U.S. distributor for this system and would love your feedback!
Would you use a system like this in your apiary?
Do you think the app integration is a game-changer for small-scale beekeepers?
