What's flowering, what's flying, what the weather's doing.
Bramble is just opening across the gardens, a week or so behind hawthorn. Hawthorn's been two weeks early this year. The forecast looks settled, 15 to 18 °C, dry into the weekend. A good time to make sure the supers are on and the strong colonies have room.
Every inspection, treatment and feed you've logged is kept quietly in the background. If a bee inspector ever asks, the PDF takes about ten seconds.

Different strains have different flying weather windows. AMM (the native dark European bee) tolerates cooler and windier days than Italian bees. Pick your strain. The thresholds below update with sensible defaults you can override. These choices are the starting point for every new hive you add.
Defaults come from the strain you picked. Override any field if your bees behave differently, e.g. mountain AMM that fly in colder weather.
Climate, latitude, and your own micro-climate decide when each wizard fits. Tick the months that work for you.
Wizards stay clickable when they're "out of season", these settings just decide which group they sit in.

What the sensor measures every 15 minutes: total hive weight (kg) · internal temperature (°C) · humidity (%).
GPS: set once during install and locked. The sensor does not re-broadcast GPS — a beekeeper driving past won't move the hive on the map. To change a stored location, use the Update location control on the apiary itself.
Where to place it: The sensor sits under the entire hive on the stand. Not on the crown board — that moves every inspection. The solar panel clips to the side of the hive stand or a stake beside the hive. Never on the roof.
First-time calibration: Weigh your empty hive before adding bees. A cedar National is ~12.5 kg empty. A poly National is ~4 kg. If you don't calibrate, the system can't tell you how many kilos of stores are in there — it will suppress all stores alerts until you do.
Hub: One hub per apiary. Connects over mobile data. Mains-powered where possible; battery + optional solar otherwise. Hub transmits all sensor data to the cloud every 15 minutes.

Insights
Six plain-English questions answered from your records. Tap any number or hive name to drill back to the underlying entry.
Whether you reared her yourself, bought her from a local breeder, or caught a swarm off a hedge.
Fill this in if she came with a certificate, has a DNA report, or crossed a border. If none of that applies to her, leave it blank.
Only if you've sold her or given her away. All optional — fill in what you have. Set her status above to Sold too so she moves to your archive.
Traits you've observed and any free-form notes. Most beekeepers add to this over the season, not on day one.
