## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.8.0 build 15 — 2026-09-09

Quick Inspect
Record a fast inspection across every hive in an apiary in one pass. Tap a hive to expand it, then use checkboxes or type shorthand codes (like QS ES L CB) to record what you see. Only hives with something entered get saved, and you review everything before confirming.
Batch Treatment
Apply a treatment to some or all hives in an apiary in one pass. Enter the treatment type, product, method, date, and an optional follow-up date once, then pick hives and set a dose per hive. Clearing a hive's dose excludes it from the batch.
Quick Codes
Customize the shorthand codes used in Quick Inspect to match what you already use on paper, from Account > Manage Quick Codes. A code reference is one tap away from the shorthand field.
Last Apiary Visit
Starting a new Quick Inspect or Batch Treatment shows a quick summary of your last visit to that apiary, including any note you left.
Apiary-level notes
Both Quick Inspect and Batch Treatment let you add one note for the whole visit (weather, forage, access issues), separate from individual hive notes.
Needs Feed
A new toggle on the inspection form flags a colony that should be fed on your next visit, independent of whether you fed it today.
Treatment records
Treatments can now include the product used, application method, dose, and an optional follow-up date, in addition to treatment type and pest targeted.
Hive Advisor mite-wash warnings
Now use season-aware action thresholds (from the Honey Bee Health Coalition) instead of one flat percentage year-round.
Weight display
Choose pounds or kilograms for weight throughout the app, in Account > Preferences.
Fixed some bugs and improved performance

### 1.7.8 build 3 — 2026-08-09

Choose Pounds or Kilograms for how honey weights are shown throughout the app. Set your preference in Account > Preferences > Weight Unit. Applies to Harvest Records, Extractions, and Analytics.
Improved: Hive Advisor's mite wash warnings now follow the Honey Bee Health Coalition's seasonal action thresholds (1% during dormant and build-up phases, 2% during peak season) instead of a single flat percentage, for more accurate treatment timing.
Bug fixes and stability improvements.

### 1.7.7 build 15 — 2026-07-31

Thank you for using Bee Inspector! This update includes:

• Added a new harvest workflow with improved honey harvest tracking.• Manage hive boxes and equipment directly from each hive.• Improved data reliability when deleting hives or accounts.• Performance improvements and bug fixes throughout the app.

We're continually improving Bee Inspector based on feedback from beekeepers. Thank you for helping us build a better hive management app!

### 1.7.6 build 3 — 2026-06-29

Hive Advisor: after each inspection, the app now reviews what you recorded and flags items that need attention -- charged queen cells, mite levels, low stores, pest sightings, and more. Suggestions are region- and season-aware.
Sort your hive list by name or date of last inspection. Sort your queen list by name, hive, or Queen Score.
Queen cell entries now include a Charged field.

### 1.7.5 build 9 — 2026-06-08

App startup reliability improvements and background stability fixes
