Format change to blog

In 2009 and 2010 with 2 hives I generated a blog post for each inspection.  I intended to do the same in 2011 with 5 hives, but my records were poor and sporadic.  However, it clearly would have been difficult to track the progress of a particular hive through many different posts.  This year I'll be trying a single post per hive.  Significant issues/changes will be documented in the post body via an update.  Minor inspections, feedings, and observations will be documented as comments.  Hopefully this will allow the tracking of individual colonies.  The dates on the main posts will not be relevant and the "labels" cumulative, but the comment dates will remain relevant.  Not sure what to do with photos as bulking up the posts too much will make it hard to read.

6/5/12 update:  I had to figure out how handle combines given the current posting format.  I decided that I would keep the hive number of the hive that is queen-right during the combine and continue the updates for that hive.  The non-queen right hive will be updated with a link to new hive and state that the hive ended on the combine date and that hive #/year combo retired.

For example, Hive 2 (not queen right) was combined with Hive 5 (queen right) to create Hive 5.  The original post for Hive 2 was shut down and linked to Hive 5, which will continue.
