The work does not end when you close the lid. ColonyTrack turns your logs into action: it flags the colonies that need attention, charts each hive's trends across the season, and tracks treatment start and end dates so you remove products on time.
Get the AppColonyTrack watches for the things that actually change a colony's outcome: a queenless colony, a high varroa count, an overdue mite check, and a treatment-removal window. Alerts are built to surface only when there is something to do, so a red hive means act now, not "you have 40 unread notes." Mite-check reminders and a post-treatment follow-up wash reminder are free; treatment removal-window alerts and push notifications come with Pro.
The numbers you log are plotted per hive across the season: varroa mite counts, colony strength, and brood pattern. One mite wash is a data point; a line across the season is a decision, the trend that tells you a colony is sliding before it crashes. The chart page keeps growing as the platform advances and members ask for more, so the metrics here are not set in stone.
Choosing a varroa treatment is mostly about constraints: the outside temperature range, whether there is brood, and whether honey supers are on. ColonyTrack shows each treatment's temperature range and supers guidance for reference, and records the start and end dates so the removal does not slip. That matters because many treatments only work in a narrow temperature band and must be pulled on schedule. Leaving one in too long, or treating with supers on, can hurt the colony or taint your honey. Pro members also get a reminder when the removal window opens.
Yes. The timeline is color-coded by what you did: a routine check, a split, a combine, a harvest, or a requeen each gets its own styled card. You can scan a colony's whole story without reading every note, which makes the "what did I do to this hive in May" question a two-second answer.
Mite-check reminders and a follow-up wash reminder after a treatment are free. Treatment removal-window alerts and push notifications are part of Pro ($5/mo).
No. It surfaces the constraints that matter (temperature, brood, supers) and your own mite history so you can choose. Always follow the product label and your local guidance.
Today, varroa counts, colony strength, and brood pattern, charted per hive across the season. The chart page keeps expanding as members request more, so nothing here is locked in.
