What buzZza does, and what's coming

The long version. The front page tags each feature; this page lists all of them, including the small ones.

TODAY in the app now PLANNED on the way, free PREMIUM on the way, and where we'll charge

In the app today TODAY

Everything here runs on your device, with no account and no signal.

The day's work

To Dos that close themselves when you record the work, grouped overdue, today, and coming up. A To Do opens the thing that finishes it.

Yard-wide jobs

Schedule a mite count for a whole yard, work it hive by hive, and stop halfway; the To Do keeps the hives you haven't reached.

Your own rules

Come-backs and labels that fire from what you record. A starter set ships with the app; add, edit, or delete any of them.

Actions you write yourself

The list of things you can record is yours: add your own, edit the ones that ship, delete what you never run. Anything on the list can set off a rule.

Screens you arrange

Hives, yards, and queens each carry their own set of actions. Choose which ones appear and in what order; set it once and every hive follows.

Colony sources

Nuc, package, purchased colony, split, caught swarm, cutout. The source decides the first check and labels the hive.

Walking a yard

Arrange the walk order once; each hive's form carries the last hive's entries. Or write one blanket record across many hives.

QR codes

Scan one to open that hive, or scan a handful to run one action on exactly those.

Queens on the books

Year, mark, breed, supplier, and why she left. Lineage runs mother to daughter.

Queen rearing

Graft batches on the rearing calendar: capped, the days to stay out, ripe, emergence, mating, check for eggs, requeen if none.

Mating nucs and banking

Cycle a nuc through the season, pull mated queens, bank or cull them, and keep the success rate.

Distribute a batch

Place a whole batch of queens into queenless hives in one reviewed pass.

Splits

Walkaway, swarm cells, or honestly queenless, with every child hive reviewed before it's made.

Swarm reports

One tap: what left, whether you caught it, how the remnant re-heads, and how many nucs you made of the cells.

Deadout reports

Cause, sub-cause, and whether the equipment is reusable, kept on the hive's permanent record.

The honey pull

Supers through your stages, moisture readings, and extraction lots with real yields, by frame format.

Photos and notes

Photos on hives, queens, yards, batches, and inspections, each with a cover. Notes you can pin.

Labels and naming

Label anything, and name hives by your own scheme instead of ours.

History

Every recorded action, filterable by yard, hive, queen, or batch, as far back as you've kept bees in it.

Backup and restore

A real file you hold, restored whole. Nothing leaves your phone unless you send it somewhere.

Separate books

Your bees and the club's apiary kept apart, on one phone.

Your units, your language

English, Spanish, and French. Pounds or kilos. Light or dark.

On the way, free PLANNED

These run on your device too, which is why they'll be free when they land.

Weather at the yard

Current conditions and a 16-day forecast on every yard screen, and records stamped with the weather they were made in.

Notifications

Your phone taps you when scheduled work comes due.

The bloom calendar

Your yard's own forage calendar, with one-tap bloom reports and a varietal suggestion when you pull.

Hygiene testing

Pin-kill, freeze-killed brood, UBeeO. The timed come-back schedules itself and the score computes itself.

Breeding depth

Lineage chains, daughters' records, and a compare mode for picking next year's breeders on evidence.

Honey packing

From extraction lot to counted jars and containers.

The operation on a map

A map-first view of every yard and hive.

Queen naming schemes

Name queens by your own convention, the way hives already work.

Export

Take your records out as a file anyone can read.

On the way, and where we'll charge PREMIUM

These need a server doing work while you're not looking, which costs money to run. None of them is required to keep your records.

Sync and multi-device

Your records on every device you use, with recovery from the server if a phone goes in the creek.

An early heads-up on the flow

The weather, your yard's bloom calendar, and your own past seasons read together, so you hear the flow could start early while there's still time to get supers on.

An assistant that has read your logbook

Ask for advice, talk through a plan, or log the day's work out loud, with your approval before anything lands.

How we decide what costs money

If it runs on your phone, it's free: the hives, the queens, the To Dos, the pulls, the whole logbook, for as many hives and yards as you keep. That doesn't change.

If it needs a server running while you're not looking, it'll be premium, because that's the part with a bill attached. There's no price to quote yet, and nothing on this page is a promise about a date.
