Gateway setup now asks you to switch your gateway on, and shows where to find the power switch: on the outside of the case, or on the board under the lid if there isn't one outside. On a hive's Queen card, the quick chips now ask a short follow-up. After Seen: "Was she marked?" and "Clipped?", and a mark colour you pick can be saved as her mark in one tap. After Eggs only: how the eggs were laid, and whether there's drone brood in worker cells. After Cells: which cells, the most advanced stage, how many, and whether you left or removed them. The same questions appear in the Queen section of New Record and in Field Mode. Every queen button now has the same size and shape, three across, with History alongside the chips. Tapping a queen chip a second time no longer records the same answer twice: an answered chip shows a check and says "Already recorded today", with Undo. Queen suggestions can now be answered on the task itself: a swarm recheck offers "Looked — cells dealt with", a suggestion that she was replaced offers Superseded, and a suggestion about why she was lost can ask about drone brood first, then offers Drone layer or Laying workers. Settings › My Devices now appears only on accounts that have ordered devices. Gateways come with a setup card in the box; set yours up under Settings › Hubs & Gateways. You can now get alerts from colony signals. In Alerts, tap Rules, add a rule, and choose a colony signal such as Queenless, Swarm Risk or Robbing to be told when that signal starts on a hive. On a hive's page, the Inspection Rhythm and Attention cards now show a placeholder while they load and fill in place, so the page no longer jumps. If one can't load, it says so instead of disappearing. The in-app User Guide now marks Web, iOS and Android content with small platform labels. On pages that have been checked, a "Works on" line under each heading shows which platforms have that feature.

Hivewire 1.33.0 brings target flows: pick the honey flows you want to catch, and Hivewire plans the season for every hive. On Bloom & Forage, the new Target Flows card lists the named honey flows for your yard's ecoregion and elevation, with projected windows based on past years at your site. Choose up to five, put them in order, and preview the plan before you accept it. Accepting a plan adds dated tasks for each hive (strength checks, swarm control, varroa checks, supers on, mid-flow checks and harvest) plus yard tasks for equipment. Plan tasks carry a Target-flow plan badge. The plan screen shows each target's status, the hive timeline and an equipment check. You can edit your targets, archive the plan, or tap "is open here" to report a bloom in one step. Tell Hivewire how you run a flow (queen excluder, brood nest, supers and harvest) under Settings → Flow Style. Dropping a pin on the forage map now lists the honey flows mapped for that spot. Buttons inside cards now share one outlined style, and Start Visit sits in the hive's card rows. Care Today now shows that tasks are loading instead of "Nothing Pending" while they arrive. Task rows line up on one leading column, and a visit's details show each amount with its unit and hide an empty note. Equipment profiles can now record the enclosure's insulation: pick a preset (pine, cedar, double-wall or polystyrene) or enter a custom R-value. Scales on firmware 0.7.0 or later get Set Up Scale: choose which load cells are connected, watch each one live, and calibrate them one connector at a time. Weights from a half scale are shown as estimates (≈) on cards, widgets and charts.

Hivewire 1.32.0 shows your hives' net weight and lets club stewards run their club from the iPhone. Net weight is what the scale reads, minus your boxes and other equipment. It is now everywhere a hive weight appears: the hive chart and header, yard cards, Home, Field Mode, the widgets, Live Activities and CarPlay. To see the scale reading instead, change Show hive weight as in Settings, or switch a hive's chart between Net and Scale. When you add or remove boxes, the app asks whether you changed the hive or fixed how it's set up, and when, so the weight history stays right. Weight jumps that need an answer show as Weight Steps to Review on the hive page, and Explain on the chart helps you answer one. After a harvest, the app asks whether the supers went back on. Withholding dates now follow each product's label. For products whose label counts from removal or the last application, such as Apivar, Apiguard and ApiLife Var, the Withholding Ends date and the supers OK reminder come later, matching the label. Club stewards can now edit the club's name and description with Edit Club on the club page. On the Members screen, each member's row has an options menu: Make Steward, Remove Steward and Remove from Club. Every action asks you to confirm first, and a removed member can rejoin with a new invite code. Join requests now have Decline beside Approve. Managing a club needs an internet connection. If you track your equipment, deleting a hive or applying a profile change now asks where the removed boxes go, so nothing lands in Unspecified storage unasked. Deleting a hive from the Hives list keeps its confirmation on screen after the swipe, and if Hivewire refuses the delete, the app shows the reason. The Home Screen widget now follows the filter you pick on Home, so it shows the same hives you do. The Count in Widget and Count Shared & Org Hives settings are gone; the Home filter decides. Bluetooth Devices is simpler. Firmware Cache has one Sensor Puck row that downloads every puck image at once, and the app no longer asks which board a puck is: it waits until the puck says. Scale rows put Blink LED and Calibrate behind one button, and Add Sensor offers only pucks and scales. Scale Calibration takes the known weight in pounds or kilograms, to match your units, and shows the live reading the same way. On a visit, an equipment change shows the weight of the equipment before and after as one line, such as 30.2 lb → 43.2 lb. Account settings has a Download your data row that takes you to the full export on hivewire.us. Also fixed: a second step on a job recorded offline now syncs after the first instead of being refused; Stores Scenarios no longer piles up empty drafts; photo measurements made on the web with corners outside the photo open read-only instead of losing those corners; and buttons, titles and menus are back in Title Case.

Hivewire 1.28.0 brings planning and equipment tools, hand-scale weighing, a clearer Home, and a big accessibility pass. Apply one equipment change to matching hives. When you add or remove a box, tick other hives with the same setup and Hivewire makes the same change on each, keeping their own labels, tare and sensors. You see which hives changed, and why any didn't. Plan your next yard visit. Build work plans with jobs, travel time, weather, the time you have and a separate packing checklist. Weather limits follow your preferred units. Weigh hives by hand. Log a rear lift, front and rear, or whole-hive weight check in pounds and ounces or kilograms. Checks appear on the hive's weight chart and feed the stores-trend insights. Record queen and brood separately. Queen, eggs, larvae, capped brood and laying-worker signs are each Seen, Not Seen or left blank, so "didn't look" never reads as "not there". Place frame feeders and empty spaces in each box, and pick the feeder when you log a feeding. Measure frame photos. Paint coverage on a honeycomb grid that follows the comb, review suggested measurements and compare the same frame over time, offline too. Explore stores scenarios. Compare feeding, harvest and reserve choices against doing nothing before you decide. Track the economics of your operation. Record income and expenses, see costs suggested by your care records, and keep unknown costs separate from zero. Manage equipment and supplies. Track storage locations, individual equipment and supply lots, with purchases and sales tied to your records. Keep equipment ready for work. Service orders cover cleaning, assembly, repairs and painting, with supplies, labor, inspection and release back to stock. A clearer Home. Filter by All, Mine, Shared or Organization yards; Open These First and the Overview follow the filter; shared yards name their owner; the Overview appears as soon as the app opens. Spot quiet sensors at a glance. Each hive row shows Stale, Offline or Never seen when its sensors have stopped reporting. Notice drift sooner. A hive whose acoustic pitch or brood temperature moves well outside its own usual range now appears in its Attention list, with a guide to what it means. Reply to your support tickets in the app, with unread badges and the email or push updates you choose. Api-Bioxal RTU is now in the varroa treatment list. Easier to read and use with assistive technology. Text and buttons meet WCAG 2.2 AA contrast in light and dark mode, every screen scales with Dynamic Type including the accessibility sizes, controls are named for VoiceOver, status shown by colour also carries a word, touch targets are larger, and animations respect Reduce Motion. Tell us about anything in your way at hivewire.us/accessibility.html. More reliable saved work. New tools keep drafts offline and finish interrupted syncs exactly as you left them, with a review step when equipment or stock has changed in the meantime.

Hivewire 1.27.0 makes feeding easier to plan, hive visits easier to manage, and field work more reliable when your connection drops. - A more useful Syrup Calculator. Calculate from your desired batch, available ingredients, or dose per hive. Choose six preset ratios or a custom concentration, switch units, adjust existing syrup, calculate feeder refills, and save reusable recipes. Carry results into Feeding records and reopen unfinished calculations. Available from Feeding, Procedures, and Settings → Resources. - Procedures & Recipes on your phone. Browse and search your library, read instructions, share through the iOS share sheet, and preview and save recipes shared with you. - Clearer hive and Care screens. Trends, Care and Equipment tabs organize hive details. Care separates Today’s tasks, recordings and unfinished visits from published History. Clearer draft and sync labels show what is saved locally, waiting to upload, or needs attention. - Field Mode organized around your visit. Choose an apiary using large cards, then select a hive. Visit summaries highlight priorities, recent care, overdue tasks and tasks due within seven days. Larger tap areas make recording findings and reviewing visits easier. - Better visibility for every sensor. Multiple pucks and scales have separate device readings, identities and freshness information. Battery voltage is clearly labeled. - Automatic offline preparation. Owned and care-shared apiaries prepare automatically while connected, prioritizing your selected apiary. Offline Status shows saved coverage, dates and missing items, with Refresh Now available. Downloads resume after interruptions and respect Low Data and Low Power modes. Full-size photos and audio require separate saving. - More reliable capture and sync. Improved recording recovery, photo-save retries, protection for pending edits, and handling of interrupted uploads and account changes. - An apiary map in CarPlay. View located apiaries with status-colored pins, open hive lists, and start directions from the map. - Easier support and navigation. Ticket notifications open the associated ticket, and ticket details show public comment history. Settings organization, contrast, controls and large-text layouts are improved. - Fresher sensor information. Hub readings refresh when opened or pulled to refresh, with clearer acoustic detector details and microphone guidance.

Hivewire 1.25.0 — What's New: Hivewire is now on CarPlay. Plug in and your yards appear on the dash, ranked by which needs you most — critical alerts first, then warnings, offline hives, and anything gone quiet. Tap a yard for graded hive rows ("Brood ideal · 60% RH · 41 lb" with a 24-hour weight trend), a rollup of the whole yard, and one-tap Navigate that opens directions right on the car screen. Tap a hive and ask for its status — you'll hear the full briefing: queen, varroa, stores, weight trend, alerts, and tasks, even with no signal. Wake a yard's hubs on the way so readings are fresh when you step out. Say "Navigate to [yard] in Hivewire" or "Wake [yard] in Hivewire" to Siri, and Hivewire speaks an arrival briefing as you pull in and offers your next stop as you leave. Attach photos to support tickets. Send up to 10 photos with a feedback ticket — picked from your library, checked against the limits before anything uploads. Equipment Care. Yard and workshop visits now carry a dedicated equipment-care record with procedures and voice capture, so maintenance gets logged the same way colony care does. GNSS Capture improvements (commissioning). Pick the keeper fix from a capture session, assign positions to any user's hives, and converged float fixes are accepted — with clearer guidance when the sky isn't the problem. Also in this release: Tasks: Start Inspection / Start Visit buttons on a task now actually start one, in the field sheet too. Hubs show a service-mode pill in the list and detail views. Signed-out screens read imperial units by default, matching the web. CarPlay polish from real field testing: the dash refreshes continuously, spoken briefs play smoothly through car audio, and the screens wear Hivewire's own glyphs.

New in 1.24.0 • Survey-grade hive coordinates — Settings → Site Survey → GNSS Capture pairs with an Emlid Reach M2 receiver to place hives to centimetre accuracy instead of phone-GPS metres. Find the receiver, wait for a fixed solution, occupy the spot for 30 seconds, and assign the point to a hive. A live map shows where the receiver is with an accuracy circle that visibly shrinks as the solution converges, and you can pinch, pan and recentre it while you work. • Treatment risk, by the day — the Treatment Risk card now tells you which day a forecast breach actually lands on, instead of only that one exists somewhere in the course. • Keep an AI conversation — share or save any Hivewire AI chat. Tap the share button at the top of the AI tab to export it as a branded PDF: mail it to a mentor, send it in a message, save it to Files, or print it. Or copy the whole transcript as plain text to paste anywhere. Copying works entirely on your phone, so a conversation is never trapped in the app when you have no signal. • Chat exports read correctly — they are stamped in your own time zone (an export at 11:37 in the evening no longer carries the next day's date), and the PDF now uses the same Hivewire report design as your season and visit exports, with the full header, page numbering and footer.

New in 1.23.0 • Health at a glance — brood temperature and humidity are now color-coded on hive cards, the Home summary, and position rows: teal in the healthy range, amber when a colony is drifting, red when it needs you. The thresholds come from the published beekeeping literature and are tuned server-side, so they can improve without an app update. In winter, when a clustered colony naturally runs cooler, the coloring quiets down instead of crying wolf. • Readings first — hive rows now lead with the numbers. The online/offline pill has stepped back to a small dot, and temperature and humidity are bigger and bolder, so a scan down the yard reads colony health before connectivity. • Attention chips — a hive flagged by the detectors (queenless signs, varroa trend, swarm prep, and more) now carries a red chip right on its card, the same rule that powers "Open These First." Quiet hives with a microphone show a small activity bar instead. • A cleaner Journal — entries are now grouped by day, with each day's brood temperature in the header and stretches of quiet sensor days collapsed into a single line, so your visits and treatments stand out instead of drowning in daily readings. • Feed in gallons — the feeding form now offers US gallons alongside quarts and liters, and feeding entries in your timeline show the amount you gave ("1:1 Syrup · 2 gal"), not just the syrup type. • Weather trends fixed for yards without a station — foraging hours, temperature, rainfall, wind, and pressure now populate from regional weather, and the Ambient vs In-Hive chart draws both lines. • Plus polish: the four stat tiles on the hive screen now sit at the same height, and a detector reading mislabeled "Fed volume" now reads "Fed amount."

New in 1.20.0 • The User Guide is now built in — read the full Hivewire guide right inside the app, with the same content as the web docs. • Pocket Probe — survey a yard with the new handheld probe: probes appear in the device scanner, beacon faster on demand for live readings, and run a LoRa walk-test so you can check coverage before mounting a hub. Site Survey now asks which tool you're carrying: Hub Survey or Pocket Probe. • Your yards, organized — the Home screen now lists yards you own first, with yards shared with you and your organization's yards in their own section. • Smarter hive counts — "hives reporting" ratios now count only instrumented hives (those with a sensor or scale), so empty or unmonitored hives no longer drag the numbers down. A new "Count shared & org hives" setting chooses whether hives shared with you are included. • Hubs and gateways now sort naturally — "Yard 2" comes before "Yard 10". • Hive rows and Field Mode now show a super temperature when a brood temperature isn't available, instead of showing nothing. • The forage map is back to its classic multi-hue color bands.

New in 1.18.0 • A fresh look — the app now wears Hivewire's 2026 colors, matching the web dashboard: clean white surfaces in light mode, warm charcoal (no more blue cast) in dark mode, with clearer status colors throughout. • TV Displays — put your yard on a TV. Open hivewire.us/tv in the TV's browser, then pair it in Settings → Panels & TV Displays by typing the 6-character code it shows or scanning its QR code. The TV becomes a live, self-updating dashboard; revoke it from the same screen any time. • Applying a treatment or feeding to several hives is now built into the Hive row itself — tap + to add hives as chips right where you chose the first one, and see "and 2 more" at a glance. • Choose which apiaries count in the widget — a new "Count in Widget" toggle in Manage Apiaries lets you keep test or out-of-season yards out of the home-screen totals. Fixes • The multi-hive picker now groups hives under the correct apiary.

New in 1.17.0 • Site Survey — find the best spot for a hub before you mount it. Carry the hub to a candidate location, join its Wi-Fi from the app, and see which hive sensors it can actually hear from there, with signal bars per hive and a LoRa link check to your gateway. Save spots and compare them side by side. (Requires hub firmware 5.11.0 or later.) • Adopt new hubs — when one of your gateways first hears a new hub, the app offers it to you instead of assigning it automatically. Accept it, or say "Not mine"; a hub you dismissed can be recovered later. • Treat or feed several hives at once — in the treatment and feeding forms, "Also apply to other hives" copies the entry to the hives you pick, with per-hive dose and notes if they differ. • Voice log review — edit, delete, or add records before filing, so a slightly off transcription is a 30-second fix instead of a re-entry. Fixes • Send Feedback tells you what's missing instead of silently doing nothing. • The yard now says when sensor readings didn't refresh, rather than implying stale data is current. • The offline indicator no longer covers the back button. • The hive stack shows a divider's assigned name in both orientations.

Hands-free field capture • Start a voice log and put the phone away. Stop it however your hands allow — the Action Button, the card on your Lock Screen, a volume button, or a click of an AirPods stem. • Pick which microphone records — including Bluetooth and external mics — and the app shows you which one is live. • A forgotten recording stops itself: it listens for silence, buzzes a check-in at 20 minutes, and caps a take at 45. • Recordings stay attached to the visit they came from, on your phone and in the cloud, so you can play back exactly what you said. • New Siri phrases: get a hive or yard briefing before you open a lid, log a ten-second yard check, add a task with gloves on, or start a yard walk. Built for yards with no signal • Visits, tasks, photos, and hive layout changes queue up and publish themselves when you're back in range — and an interrupted save no longer files a duplicate. • A hive created offline now keeps the equipment profile you chose. • Charts, weather, your device roster, and recent visits open straight from cache at a remote apiary, with honest "as of" stamps instead of a false all-clear. Equipment profiles • Save any hive's setup as a reusable profile, duplicate profiles, and start a new hive three ways: from a profile, as a copy of another hive, or empty. • Equipment you pull off a hive parks in the profile's unused pile — labeled, with where it came from — and offers itself back the next time you add a box. • Spacers, shims, and ekes are now real stack pieces, and the hive picture draws your own covers and boards, in your order. Fixes • Weight charts now follow the scale itself, not the newest sensor on the hive. • Delete a whole visit that was logged on the wrong hive. • Fixed a crash when re-adding a component to a profile's default stack.

Scan to assign Point the camera at a puck's printed label to place it straight into a hive position. If that puck already lives somewhere else, Hivewire asks when it moved — and its history follows your answer (it was always here / just now / on a date), with a preview of exactly which readings move. Works offline, visibly Create tasks and alert rules without signal — they queue with honest badges and sync when you're back. The new Sync Queue screen in Settings shows every pending change, explains anything that failed in plain words, and lets you retry or discard it. Find any visit Visit history now groups by month and is searchable — hive names, notes, even what's inside the records. Ask Hivewire AI, get sources Guide citations are now tappable links, failed messages offer a real Retry, and you'll see a heads-up as you approach your monthly allowance. Photos that don't ghost Failed photo loads offer tap-to-retry, rejected uploads tell you why, and photo limits are shown up front instead of photos quietly disappearing. Also in this release • Frost countdown now works with Tempest weather stations • Detector readings shown in your preferred units (°F / lb) • Queen excluders, follower boards, and other dividers in the hive editor • Redesigned Add Task sheet — everything on one screen • Tidier hive page with a collapsible Journal • Tap the forage map to drop a siting pin • VoiceOver improvements on every chart • Dozens of fixes, including password changes, task cleanup, and hive-name display

What's New in Hivewire 1.13.0 The Living Forage Map Explore nectar and pollen potential around your apiaries on a live map — forage quality by area, bloom activity, and community observations, all in one view. Find it under Bloom & Forage → Map. Bloom & Forage, leveled up • Named honey flows — see your region's flows (like "Gallberry & holly flow") with projected date windows. • Honest flow status — the flow/dearth card distinguishes major from minor flows, shows the season phase, and tells you plainly when feeding is (and isn't) advisable. • Reported nearby — community bloom observations from iNaturalist enrich your local picture, alongside your own logs. • Know your plants — species carry an origin badge, invasive-species call-outs, and data sources. • Log blooms faster — record a sighting across multiple apiaries in one entry. Walk up — your devices wake up Hubs and gateways sleep to stretch their batteries; now the app wakes them for you. • Open a device screen and nearby hubs notice your phone and open their Wi-Fi within a few minutes. • Out of range, or a cellular gateway? Tap Wake and the request travels through the cloud — the app tells you when the device confirms. • When a device's Wi-Fi is open, its row turns teal with a one-tap Join — no trip to iOS Settings, no password. • Optional Wake Devices on Arrival: pulling into a yard wakes its devices before you're out of the truck (off by default, per apiary). Device management, redesigned • Hubs, gateways, and sensors in one clean card list — name, role, firmware, and battery visible before you ever connect. • See each device's operating role at a glance, switch modes remotely or at the hive, and update firmware — all from one flow, with one entry point. • Battery levels now appear directly on nearby-device rows during scanning, and the Bluetooth Devices screen supports pull to refresh. • Connection attempts now recover gracefully instead of getting stuck. AI summaries, right where you need them • Apiary, hive, and journal views now load a short AI period summary automatically — what your data shows, in plain language. • Hivewire AI answers render formatting properly (bold, lists). Also • The home-screen Yard widget is now available on every supported iOS version. • Public chart links are now created and managed in one place: Settings → Public Chart Links. • Reliability improvements and fixes throughout, riding our fastest backend yet.
