Bees Knees: Hive & Beekeeping

GIFTS AND HONEY YOU KEEP: A sale can now be a gift or own use. Those jars count in the honey that went out and come off stock, but never in money or your averages. A sale written down at £0 before this reads as a gift. ORDERS TO DELIVER: Tick "Order, not delivered yet" and the sale shows as due on its date, not as money owed. Orders head the Sales list, soonest first, each with Mark delivered. YOUR CUSTOMERS' PRICES: Price bands and customer prices set on the website now fill in on the phone: the customer's own price first, then their band's, then your list price, with the next quantity break shown. A price you type is never written over. TOLD WHEN HONEY MUST NOT BE SOLD: Writing a harvest down now says when the honey was taken while a medicine was in the hive, or inside its withdrawal period. Honey taken then must not be sold or eaten, however long it is kept, and the form says so before you save it, with the date from which honey taken is clear. QUICK ACTIONS, REDRAWN: The four quick actions on Home carry the gold hexagon badge and a line saying what each one records. From October to May, Harvest gives way to Reminder, because a harvest button in January records nothing. ARCHIVED MEANS ARCHIVED: Reminders on an archived hive, or on a hive in an archived apiary, no longer list, badge the bell or send a notification. Bring the hive back and its reminders come back with it. THE MEDICINES RECORD, COMPLETE: The Veterinary Medicines Regulations ask a keeper to record, at purchase, the product and batch number, the date bought, the quantity bought and the supplier. The treatment form now has fields for the date bought, the quantity bought and who applied the treatment (the National Bee Unit's record card asks for that too). The printed medicines record carries them in the order the regulations set out: purchase, administration, disposal. Records made before this version simply read "not recorded" until you fill them in. Keep the receipts with the record: proof of purchase is a duty of its own. TOLD WHEN A NEW VERSION IS OUT: A line at the top of Home appears when the App Store has a newer version, checked once a day. Tap it to update; dismiss it and it stays away until the next version. It never gets in the way of your records or their sync.
