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.
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.
