Events and Notes

Events help you maintain a history of work, inspections, and observations for each hive. To open the event list from the app home screen, swipe right.

Event List

The screen shows the selected hive and its saved events. Each entry contains a type icon, name, color marker, and date and time. Tap Insert to create an event, or select an existing entry to edit it.

You can also create future scheduled events. The app notifies you in advance so that planned work does not get lost among current records.
