apiary mapping software
Maps for apiaries, hives, traps, and nearby yards
The Maps area puts location-aware apiaries, hives, and swarm traps into geographic context. Nearby-yard layers appear only when that workspace feature is enabled.
Direct answer
Short answer
HiveAware Maps can display apiaries, hives, and swarm traps with saved coordinates, provide layer controls, and support adding location-based records from the map.
Map workflow
- Add coordinates to an apiary or place it on the map
- Turn on the layers needed for the visit
- Open an apiary pin for record context
- Use optional trap or nearby-yard layers when enabled
What it does
See yard records in geographic context
Display apiary points, hive locations, swarm traps, labels, and optional nearby-yard records using map layers.
- Apiary and hive pins
- Swarm trap layer
- Optional nearby yards
How to use it
Add coordinates or place a record from the map
Save coordinates on an existing record or use the map entry tools to place an apiary, hive, or swarm trap.
- Place a pin
- Choose the record type
- Save location context
Availability
Core map layers follow the records in the workspace
Apiary, hive, and trap visibility depends on saved coordinates and enabled modules. Nearby yards is a separate workspace-dependent feature.
- Saved coordinates
- Feature-aware layers
- Nearby yards optional
Questions beekeepers ask before choosing apiary mapping software
Can HiveAware show individual hives on the map?
Yes. Hives with exact coordinates can use those locations; other hives can appear near their apiary location.
Are neighboring yards always shown?
No. Nearby-yard records depend on a separate workspace feature and user-entered location information.
