Your own bloom calendar. Every bloom check you log at a yard builds a month grid, kept year by year, with first bloom dates side by side. It uses the same grid as the forage calendar, so what you saw sits over what the region expects. Mark a plant "not in my area" and it stops being asked about. Import years of notes from an .ics calendar file. Weather for each yard. The week ahead at the apiary's own location: highs, lows and the chance of rain, in your temperature unit. New forage regions: Ireland, New South Wales, and South Africa (Western Cape and the summer rainfall provinces). The forage map opens straight from the bloom check. Apiary location, made clear. The form now checks the address as you type it and tells you which forage region it landed in, or that it could not be placed. A "Use my location" button fills it from where you are standing. Treatments: logging a product that needs the supers off warns you if any of the chosen hives still have supers on. Offline: two devices editing the same record no longer lose one side. Settings shows the conflict with "Keep mine" and "Use theirs". A photo taken offline waits for the picture before its record goes up. Fixes: dates use your local day everywhere, so tasks no longer read as overdue around midnight. Notes dated in the past land on that date. The app no longer hangs on a stale session at startup. The tip jar recovers from a failed store load. Sign-ins from the app record a location again.

Feed logging, harvests, a simple finance ledger, and a small dropdown menu change. FEED LOGGING Record what you fed, the strength and how much, across a whole yard in one go. Syrup, fondant, dry sugar, pollen sub or a frame of honey. It sits on the hive the same way treatments do, so you can see what went in and when without digging through inspections. HARVESTS What you took off, when, and the batch number if you keep one. Several countries want a lot code on jars you sell, so the field is there and it carries on your numbering for you. Season totals build themselves, in whatever unit you weighed in. A SIMPLE FINANCE TRACKER Money in, money out, a date filter and three totals. Deliberately plain. TASKS AND NOTES Tick the hives a job applies to and each one gets its own task, so half a yard done is a real state. Notes take a date now, including a past one, for the observations you wrote up later. FIXES Custom action tags were showing their internal name on the hive timeline. Honey totals now read in the unit you actually weighed in rather than the calculator setting. Signing up with an address that already has an account used to say check your email and send nothing, and now says so plainly.

Winter prep season in the northern half of the world, so most of this is about getting ready for it. Record what's blooming at your yard while you're doing an inspection. A short check of the plants that matter near you, including the ones that have finished, which is the part a photo app can never tell you. If something is missing from the list, search for it and add it, and that yard gets asked about it from then on. A Take a photo button next to the upload, so adding a picture to a hive or an inspection no longer means digging through your camera roll. Eight new overwintering guides under Guides. Winter prep, when to stop feeding, combining weak colonies, condensation, wraps and insulation, emergency feeding and how to read a hive that did not make it. The varroa count is on quick inspections now, not just the full one. The next check date is optional and starts blank. If you don't know when you'll be back out, leave it and you won't get a reminder. Fixed: adding a photo while creating a new hive always failed. Fixed: editing an inventory item never actually saved. Fixed: a mite wash reading with a decimal in it would not save, and took the rest of the inspection with it. The app no longer loads Google Analytics.

Your language, everywhere. The hive tracker now works in 21 languages besides English, matching the calculators: inspections, hives, apiaries, swarm logs, tasks, reminders, inventory and export, along with your reminder and digest emails. Arabic and Hebrew read right to left. Record what you treated with. An inspection now saves the product and the dose next to the mite count, so the season's treatment history lives in the record instead of a note, and it comes through in your CSV and PDF export. If you want to chip in for the running costs you can now leave a tip from the menu. It unlocks nothing, there is no subscription and every feature stays free. Fixes: menu labels showed a stray HTML code instead of an ampersand. Supers, Brood boxes and Queen excluder stayed in English inside a translated inspection form. Fourteen languages quoted a button that does not exist. The timezone picker was an hour out through daylight saving. Honey yield guidance ignored the unit toggle. The clear menu on completed tasks opened where you could not reach it. Thanks to the beekeepers who reported these.

Status Check, a fast two-question inspection: eggs on a center frame and queen cells on the bottom bars. Walk the yard steps through every hive in an apiary the same way. New Forage Range Map. Drop a pin on your apiary and see the 1, 2 and 3 mile rings your bees actually work, with the acreage inside each. New guides: honey labeling requirements with a searchable 50 state reference, bee development timeline, how far bees fly and a full varroa treatment library covering oxalic, formic, amitraz and thymol. Flag any hive as needing attention. Add photos straight from the hive page, and inspections now hold 20 photos. Plus expandable inspection notes, dates on every requeening stage, more jar sizes in the honey yield calculator and plenty of fixes.

Everything syncs automatically the moment you're back online—no buttons to press, no lost work. DARK MODE A full dark theme for early-morning and late-evening checks. Turn it on from the menu or in Settings. EASIER ACCOUNT SWITCHING Signing out now lets you pick a different Google account on your next sign-in, so shared devices and multiple logins behave the way you'd expect. POLISH & FIXES - Fixed the header overlapping the status bar when returning to the app - Faster, smoother background syncing - Various stability and layout improvements
