Honey inventory for beekeepers

Honey comes in by the bucket and leaves by the jar. The setup that works tracks bulk honey by harvest and varietal, jars by size, and packaging, and keeps market and online stock in sync.

Built for beekeepers and honey producers. Set up for you, on the tools you already use.

The short answer

Track bulk honey by harvest and varietal, bottle into jar sizes so stock moves from bulk to finished, keep jars, lids and labels counted, and use one inventory for the market register and the online store.

How it works

  1. Bulk by harvest

    Each harvest recorded by varietal, apiary and weight.

  2. Bottling runs

    Bottling moves honey from bulk to jars by size, with a lot code.

  3. Packaging counts

    Jars, lids and labels drop as you bottle, with a reorder point.

  4. One stock count

    Market register and online store sell from the same numbers.

  5. A store by varietal

    Clover, wildflower, buckwheat and so on, each with its own page and story.

Questions

How should a beekeeper track honey inventory?

Track bulk honey by harvest and varietal, then bottling runs into jar sizes, with packaging counted alongside.

Can market and online stock stay in sync?

Yes, with one inventory feeding both the register and the store.

Should honey jars have lot codes?

It helps. A lot code ties a jar to its harvest and bottling date.

Can Madeline's set this up?

Yes. Bulk and jar inventory, bottling runs, packaging counts and a store by varietal.
