FAQ — swarm trap tracking with HiveFlow

Does HiveFlow track swarm traps and bait hives?
Yes. You can register bait hives and swarm traps with GPS pins, log check-ins and attractants, record captures, and convert a trap into a managed colony while keeping the full history on one timeline.
Is HiveFlow free for hobby beekeepers?
The free tier includes up to 8 hives and 8 swarm traps with inspections, maps, QR codes, and timelines. Premium removes limits for larger apiaries.
Does HiveFlow work offline in the apiary?
Yes — you can log inspections and trap visits without signal, and sync when connectivity returns. Offline map regions can be downloaded for remote yards. Many beekeeping apps offer offline mode in 2026; HiveFlow includes it as a field feature, not the only reason to choose the app.
Is HiveFlow on iPhone or Android?
Android, iOS, and web are available today. The same account syncs across web and mobile.
How is HiveFlow different from HiveTracks?
HiveTracks is the long-standing US reference for general hive management and commercial-scale web tools. HiveFlow is stronger when you run swarm traps alongside production colonies and want bait-to-colony conversion, trap GPS mapping, and production or sales logging in one free workflow.
Can I track honey production and hive sales?
Yes. Log harvests with units (lb, kg, oz), chart production, and record sales, losses, or donations of colonies — useful for sideline beekeepers tracking real output beyond trap season.
