Why would you want to create a new task?  We have this feature so that you can record the information that you want. We have added everything we can think of but different businesses do things in their own unique ways and use their own unique terminology.  How do I create a custom task? Firstly navigate to the Admin tab. Then Navigate to the Tasks tab. Once in the Tasks tab select the Create Task Template in the top right. Once selected, you will be brought to a new page that will ask you to name the new task and select a category. the category will determine what is required to complete the task.

Recording Hive numbers  In MyApiary Manager, we use job cards for everything,  rather than just update the new colony total.  Using Job card and task allows you to record why the hive numbers changed. Making reporting far more valuable by providing better insights into not just the current hive numbers but why and how the numbers have changed over time.  Then you can see why the hive numbers have changed you can now easily identify management practices that are working and some that are not. Allowing you to take action and improve hive management processes. 5 Task used to change hive numbers Task Name Description Hive Audit Allows you to set a new total Hives Split  Increases the hive count by the number entered. This is the number of new hives created from the splitting operation. Hives Combined   Decreases the hive count by the number entered.  This is the

Users in MyApiary are the different accounts used by staff in your organization. For example, if you have three beekeeping teams and an office-based manager, then you would have four unique users. each user has their own unique login information and the ability to log in on the desktop and tablet applications. Having unique users for each team allows work to be scheduled to specific teams, and reporting to be drilled down into what respective teams have achieved/completed. As seen in the screenshot below, this account has six beekeeping teams. If you are looking to see user permissions, please see "User permissions".

If you are wanting to record data about why you re-queened on a site. use the observations section of any job card. If ticked yes to why did you requeen, you can select a reason for why you requeened and how many times for that reason. You can log several reasons as shown in the screenshot below, the example below shows that i requeened 6 hives for three different reasons. The default reasons for re-queening are listed below, if the reasons listed is missing something you need, feel free to contact support at support@myapiary.com Accepted failure Bad temperament Cell failure Disease - Chalkbrood  Disease - Sackbrood Drone layer  Making Splits Mating failure (Virgin Queen)  Old age Queenless  Spotty brood Squashed  Swarmed

Sites List Sites can be filtered for most neglected sites. Apiaries are grouped in Site Groups.   Select a site group to see the sites that are part of this run/group.                                                                                              

Site Dashboard  The site status bar shows the current status and summary of a site. To change the site status, we perform a job on the site.

By default, there is three different user types. these are as follows: Team This user type is predominantly used by your beekeeping team leader in the field. They will use the tablet app predominantly and have access to what they need to have in order to complete their day to day. Team users have access to access to scheduling, site information, limited reporting, and some other functionality. Apiary Manager The Apiary manager would be someone operating in a leadership position, like for example your head beekeeper. These users have access to everything in the reporting tab, and also have access to everything within the Admin tab excluding the ability to add additional users. Owner The owner-user has access to everything MyApiary has to offer, this includes the ability to manage (add or subtract from) the number of users, their roles/permissions, as well as the ability to change

To add an already existing site, you need the following information about your site.  Sites need a name,  type (e.g. honey, pollination, etc)  GPS location To add a new site you have no information for, you still need the same information but you can use the add site function on the tablet app. This helps as if you create the site while physically on-site, the app will automatically use your current GPS location. To add a site on the desktop website, please navigate to Admin then Sites, and then select "Create Site". You should then be presented with a screen similar to the one shown below., please fill out the information here and select "create". you have now created a site! (please note, at a minimum, you must provide information in the boxes outlined in red.)

How to record splits Generally, you create splits for one of two reasons to fill gaps/replace dead hives or to make up new hives. When making new hives, it is good practice is to move the newly made splits to a new site to stop the foraging bees returning to the parent hive.  You should record this as so. Steps: Add the task ‘Hives splits’ to your job card and fill in the quality of splits created. This will increase the colony count on the site by the number of new splits If you move the splits out to a new site, add the task ‘Move hives out’ to your job card. In the quality, fill in the number of splits you are moving out to a new site. At the new site add the task ‘Move hives in’ to your job card and record in the apiary

The Site Status report is reporting to see exactly what is on your sites. As shown below the data is sorted by date, starting with the current date. Using the filters you are able to see the site status from any date since you began to use MyApiary. From here you can also sort by the following  Site group (allowing you to see the status of sites in a specific group) Site types (allowing you to see all of the sites that are a specific type, for example, Pollination sites, or Honey sites.) Active sites (this tab allows you to filter between showing all sites or only showing active sites.) Great uses for these reports include: See where you have supers in a specific site group. See where you have gaps in specific areas. See all empty sites See all sites that have hives on them

The "Site Cost" reporting tab is a great indicator of how much each site is costing you to operate. like in other reports the data shown is representative of a date range so start by selecting a date range. Then you can filter by a site group (meaning you can only see the groups selected.) or Site type (meaning you will only see specific site types, for example, pollination sites of honey sites.). In the top right of the screen is a small summary of the total costs displayed in with your current filters. The list below can be sorted by clicking the heading you wish to sort by.  Clicking the site cost report button to the right of each individual site will bring you to this page (see below image). here you can see a more in-depth breakdown of what jobs have been done on the site

Depending on the size of your operation and management philosophy moving hives can be easy or become quite  complicated quickly. If your hives are arranged into permit  groups for ease of moving, see How to move a load When moving hives from one site to another site. This is the easiest method when moving hives. To move hives from one site to another site we use the special  job card 'Move site'. This job card unlike a standard job card will ask for a destination site to move the hives too. With this job card, you can choose to move the entire apiary or partially move some of the apiaries. To allow this flexibility the job card creates two linked job cards, a pickup job and a drop off job. This is so the apiary status report for the hives remaining on-site can be filled in. The inputs

The below Job cards are specifically for changing the numbers of hives and supers on a site. Use these correctly as outlined below in order to get accurate reporting. Tasks for changing Hive numbers. Hive - Move-in This task is used to move a hive into a site. This is job will automatically add what you move into what is already on a site, giving you a new total. For example, if there are 10 hives on a site and are moving in another 10 hives in from another site, The total hives will be adjusted to 20. Hive - Split This task is used when making splits. The task will automatically adjust the hive total depending on the number of splits completed. For example, if there are 10 hives on a site and you make 4 splits, the new total will be adjusted to be 14 hives on the
