The recorded information is immediately available in the application in graphical form and thematically arranged. The collective view of the hives allows for quick verification of all resources collected on frames, information about the queens and any additional activities in the hive. Information on honey and pollen harvests and the effects of varroa treatment are presented in the form of individual charts for individual hives and annual reports. The application allows you to enter information on the purchase of beekeeping products needed to run the apiary, sales of beekeeping products and their collective quantities obtained during the year. The handy notebook allows you to remember any information and can create a list of activities to be performed.
