User reviews

App gone

I deleted the app as soon as it became mandatory to submit your info.

Voluntary is fine, forced is bad.

Could be a good app

This could be a really good app... but it isn’t. It is very remedial (at best).

The date section, when submitting a varroa test, has no dates to choose from.

When I tried to submit my inspection, it have some problem message saying I’d have to try later.

When I tried to watch the Varroa Management Decision Tool video, it wouldn’t play and the “X” to close it, wouldn’t close the video. After that, I just closed the app.

Well done!

This app is a really valuable educational tool for the beekeeping community. The app also makes it easy to self report mite counts and help increase awareness of the need to monitor and manage varroa. Kudos to the developers on a job well done. PS - the shake trainer is brilliant!

Includes timer and easy way to share data

Easy to use app that incorporates tutorials, timer for various stages of the mite check, and an easy way to share data with BIP.

Back to five stars

Update fixed opening issues. This is a great app for all beekeepers! I will share this app with the my beekeeper friends.
