About

Hivecard

Features
Read full description

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. iPhone and iPad.
