PSK Pin Cards for Beehive Records
The Secret Sauce is the App!
What is a PSK Pin Card?
Developed and manufactured in Germany, this system has been the “secret weapon” of European beekeepers for years —Now in the USA.
The PSK Pin Card System is a hive management toolset to record hive health. Yes, there is an app!
Finally we can stop fumbling with pens. Designed for high-speed, accurate record-keeping, the weather-resistant board mounts directly to your hive, allowing you to update your records in seconds—without ever taking off your gloves.
It consists of high-visibility, inspection cards, and a synchronized app. It’s a disciplined approach to beekeeping that simplifies key inspection points for easy reference.
What’s Included:
Why Beekeeper's Love It
Better Records lead to better hive management.
Glove-Friendly: No more removing gloves to write on a soggy card. The 15 heavy-duty PVC pins are designed to be moved easily, even when your hands are covered in propolis or wax.
Visual Snapshot: Get a status report without lifting the lid. One glance at the pin positions tells you exactly where the hive stands regarding: Queen Status, Brood Pattern, Food Stores, Hive Health, and more.
Weather-Proof Made from UV-stable, hard foam (polystyrene), these boards won’t fade in the sun or warp in humid conditions.
Time-Saving Efficiency: The PSK system lets you document your findings faster than traditional methods.
The easy-to-use PSK system prevents “inspection amnesia”
With the App Simplicity Meets Digital Power
While the pins give you an instant field reference, the companion PSK App (iOS / Android) takes your data to the next level.
Photo-Sync Technology: Simply snap a photo of the board. The app recognizes the hive number and the pin positions to update your digital history. You can even add comments.
Automated History: The app logs your pin data alongside a digital timestamp, giving you a powerful look at colony growth and health trends.
No Service? No Problem: Record everything offline in the yard and sync it whenever you’re back on Wi-Fi. The included instructions include a QR code to the app.

What Beekeepers Say:
“I’ve been keeping bees for 15 years and always thought my ‘mental notes’ were enough. After one season with the PSK system, I realized how much I was actually missing. It turned my guesswork into a science.” — Lars H., Master Beekeeper (Bavaria, Germany)
“The durability is what sold me. I’ve dropped these in the mud and wiped them clean with a smoker-singed glove. They still look new, and my records have never been tighter.” — Dietrich K., Commercial Apiarist
