The dashboard
The dashboard is your home base in Openbeehive. It's the first screen you see when you open the app, and it's designed to answer a simple question: what needs my attention today?
Apiaries
An apiary is a place where you keep bees: your garden, an allotment, a rooftop, a rented field, or a remote stand on the edge of a forest. In Openbeehive, the apiary sits at the very top of your records. Everything else hangs beneath it.
Hives
A hive in Openbeehive represents a single colony of bees living in a physical box. Hives are the heart of your records: almost everything you log day to day, inspections, tasks, harvests and treatments, hangs off a hive.
Queens
The queen is the heart of a colony. Openbeehive lets you record who she is, where she came from, how she is marked, and when her reign began and ended. Because every queen is kept in the record, you build a living history of your stock over the seasons.
Inspections (visits)
An inspection is the record of a single visit to a hive: what you saw, what you did, and anything worth remembering for next time. Over a season these visits build into a clear story of how each colony is developing.
Tasks
Beekeeping is full of small jobs that are easy to forget: add a super before the
Harvests & honey
Bringing in the honey is the moment the whole season pays off. Openbeehive lets you record each harvest in seconds, so that come winter you can see exactly which hives, which apiaries and which queens earned their keep.
Treatments
A treatment record is the story of how you cared for a colony's health: what you applied, when, how much, and when the hive was safe again. Openbeehive keeps these records tidy and audit-ready, so that whether you are managing two hives in a garden or two hundred across several apiaries, you always have a clear, defensible history.

A QR label turns any hive into a one-tap shortcut. Stick a label on the roof or
