swarm trap tracking

Swarm trap tracking connected to apiary work

HiveAware keeps trap placement, catch activity, and follow-up actions visible with the rest of the beekeeping operation.

Direct answer

Short answer

HiveAware swarm trap tracking helps beekeepers record trap locations, status, catch activity, photos, apiary context, and follow-up work during swarm season.

Swarm trap workflow

  1. Add trap location and status
  2. Review traps during route checks
  3. Record catches or changes
  4. Create follow-up work after activity

Why it matters

Swarm season becomes reviewable

Trap activity no longer lives only in memory, which helps route planning, catch follow-up, and season review.

Field workflow

Move from trap check to follow-up action

A beekeeper checks a trap, records a catch, links the activity to the apiary context, and creates the next work item.
