Queens Are Here, and Inspections Got a Big Upgrade
| HiveBloom
Queens are here. Inspections got smarter. Here’s everything new in HiveBloom.
Move Queens Between Hives
Your queen finally lives where she should: at the apiary, not chained to a single hive. Move her to a strong nuc when you split. Transfer her into another colony. Bring her home from the mating yard. Her whole story follows her, every placement, every inspection where you spotted her, every milestone of her raising journey.
The full reign is now a first-class thing. Tap into any queen and you’ll see her placements, her timeline, the inspections tied to her, and her own PDF report.
Follow Every Queen from Cell to Laying
The raising journey is its own milestone-aware flow. Cells started. Capped. Virgin emerged. Laying confirmed. Each step is a tap. The rail shows exactly where every queen sits in her timeline, and you can fix dates after the fact when reality didn’t match your plan.
Pick a breed from the catalog, or write your own. Either way, the breed travels with the queen and shows up wherever you need it.
Record What Matters in Every Inspection
Frame counts are here. New bucket sliders for brood, honey, and pollen coverage. A frames-of-bees counter that estimates hive strength automatically. Trust your gut more than the math? Override it in one tap.
Those numbers show up everywhere they should: on the inspection detail page, on each hive’s latest-inspection card, and in your exported PDF.
Voice Dictation Understands Frames
Say “six frames of brood, four of honey, full of bees.” HiveBloom fills the form for you. No scrolling, no tapping with sticky gloves on.
A Hive Designer With X-Ray Vision
The designer now shows frame capacity at a glance, with per-box badges. You’ll know whether there’s room for that next deep without doing math in your head.
Plus
Every supported language is now at full coverage. Promoted hives float to the top of the apiary screen. PDFs include queen reign data and frame counts. And we knocked out a long list of paper cuts you’ve been telling us about.
Update through the App Store or Google Play and go play with it.
