## What is Hivecard?

Prepare a focused multi-hive visit from real inspection records, keep each stop’s context visible, and save a shareable account of what you checked.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Open Rounds, name the visit, add your own purpose and select the hives to include.
2. Prepare the round to freeze the latest two recorded inspections for each hive. Missing measurements stay unknown, and different mite-count methods are not compared.
3. Work through each stop, add a visit note, and mark it checked or skipped. Resume later, share the field record, or delete the round without changing hive inspections.

Hive profiles, inspections, apiaries, harvests, treatment logs, feeding, queen records, trends, inspection schedules and references remain available.

WHAT TO KNOW
Field rounds are planning and recordkeeping tools. A checked stop does not create a detailed inspection or verify colony health. No diagnosis or treatment instruction is generated. Records dated after preparation are excluded, and snapshots do not silently change when inspections change.

### 2.0 — 2026-06-24

Hivecard 2.0 — a big pro upgrade from a single-hive card to a full apiary manager, still calm and offline.

• Apiary / bee-yard management: group your hives by yard with an overview.
• Varroa monitor: record wash counts for mites per 100 bees with season-aware action thresholds and recommendations (informational).
• Feeding log with a 1:1 / 2:1 syrup calculator and overwintering-stores math.
• Queen registry with marking-color age, third-season flags, and requeen history.
• Swarm & split log, plus an inspection scheduler with reminders and overdue badges.
• Health trends charts (mite %, frames of bees, stores, mood) and a multi-hive apiary PDF plus mite-test and feeding CSV exports.

Beekeeping facts are informational, not veterinary advice. No account, no cloud — everything stays on your device.

### 1.2 — 2026-06-15

What's New in 1.2

Honey Harvest Log - Log each extraction with date, weight (lb or kg), number of supers, and notes. Running total and harvest count shown per hive. Full history newest-first.

Treatment Tracker - Log a mite treatment as a dated event with product, label duration, expected end date, and days remaining. Add a post-treatment mite count when you retest; Hivecard shows whether it passed the threshold and flags overdue retests (University of Minnesota Extension: retest 3-4 weeks after treatment ends). Pre-fills label durations: Apivar 42 days, Apiguard 28 days, Formic Pro 14 days, HopGuard 3 30 days, OAV/dribble single-session.

CSV Export - Export all inspections, all harvests, or all treatment events as a CSV file for Apple Numbers, Excel, or Google Sheets. Available from the Report tab. RFC 4180 compliant; dates ISO 8601; temperature in your preferred unit.

Weight units - lb/kg setting in Settings -> Units for the harvest log. Stored in pounds; switching is lossless.

### 1.1 — 2026-06-14

What's New in 1.1

Colony Strength Tracker — Record frames of bees, honey stores, and pollen at each inspection. Hivecard converts frames of bees to an estimated population (one full comb ≈ 2,400 bees) and rates the colony as Weak, Moderate, Strong, or Very Strong. The hive card now shows the latest colony strength alongside the mite average.

Disease & Pest Reference — Ten offline entries covering American Foulbrood, European Foulbrood, Sacbrood, Chalkbrood, Nosema, Deformed Wing Virus, Small Hive Beetle, Wax Moth, Varroa, and Tracheal Mites. Each entry has visual symptoms, look-alikes, and concrete actions. Sourced from USDA ARS and university extension publications. Notifiable conditions are flagged.

Seasonal Task Calendar — Month-by-month apiary guide with 37 tasks across the full beekeeping year. Critical tasks (mite treatments, winter prep, swarm prevention) are sorted first within each month. Covers temperate northern-hemisphere climates.

Annual PDF — Colony strength data is now included in the inspection log section of the PDF when recorded.
