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.
I am not active beekeeper any longer because of
age and health so my contribution to the beekeeper society will be developing
beekeeper software. This I by the way have done since the days of windows 3.1
and a lot of people have helped me in this Job. The software is very serious and
even I have set it free I hope you will receive it friendly. All I want from You
is
a comment on the software so that I can continue developing it to the benefit of
the beekeeping.
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.
Bidata will run on the
following OS (win95, win 98, win 2000, windows XP and windows Vista 32 bit, I
have tested it on the new
windows 10 64 bit and it worked. Just run it as administrator!!!!!!! How
to do that you can read here and download as PDF
run as admin
I
was informed that my Bidata software also runs on Intel based computers running
Linux, Unix, BSD and Mac OSx if you use the Wine software : http://www.winehq.org/
I have now set the software free. Here is a register software to my big software. You just enter your name and
click ok
This will register the software to a full version with no
limitations.
all the best
Jorn Johanesson
The actual version of the software is 8.0.5.0
I am sorry to say, that the manual and help files are not up to date. I
am not the best manual writer, so if you could help me in this I will be very
thankfull.
If your language is not listed and you have the time please feel free
to start a new translation. It is not particularly difficult to do but will take
some time. Your translation will be immediately visible when you select it
in the software.

Bidata now up to Scandinavian (and many other) Standards. The
2004 edition includes the following :
Queen breeder Register card (build on the Swedish queen register card)
with dropdown lists for a lot of stuff.
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..
Disease form with dropdown lists for diseases, treatment and control.
the forms have changed to tabbed notebook format to get a better
overview.
Number of frames in a hive is now reflected when you enter a new
hive-note.
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.
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.
dial up your queen breeder from within software
You can let the software create the first records for all your families
and at the same time group them.
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.
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.
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.
The manual is again in the archive but see it just as a guideline, the
help is updated and much more instructive.
Pollen database software not included (Download separately). Add
your own pictures and drawings.
The software is free for use up to 10
hives and will not expire.
Added a professional table repair software. Repairs your database if
errors occurs. You will find it in a separate directory called tools
Added printout of a hive note card (headings configurable)
Printout of data is heavily improved.
Made it possible to exclude/include columns in the grids and to rearrange
the columns.
Columns headings can be edited, and be shown as multi line headings.
Added a powerful filter and search engine (filter your data on e.g.
Breeding queens) or search your hives on every possible data in the
database.
Added integrated update facility. Thanks to Daniel Fiske South
Africa
Missing files in archive(s) please e-mail me and I will supply those to you
It is now possible to use boxes together with the ability to use single
frames,.

This is an issue of a free publication about beekeeping in the Nordic
countries of Europe. It is a PDF file and you need the Acrobat reader to View
this file online. Click on the picture to view it online. To View it locally you
can download the file nordic.zip
and then extract this file locally to view it in peace at home in your Adobe
acrobat reader. Even that beekeeping in your country might be different than in
the Nordic counties you might find this publication interesting.

The EDBi foundation was created for the purpose of making useful software for
Beekeeping and to broadcast it around the world in as many languages as we can.
( You can help us in making the software interface in YOUR normal language)
EDBi is a small foundation comprising beekeepers interested in using the
power of their PC's in their Beekeeping, to help them to improve their craft!
EDBi is an approved special organization connected to the Danish Federal
Beekeeper organization, DBF.
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.
