Use maps for field planning

Maps combine saved locations from several HiveAware record types. They are most useful when apiary and trap coordinates are kept current.

Review your map​

  1. Open Maps.
  2. Choose the workspace and available map filters.
  3. Review apiary, hive, and swarm-trap locations.
  4. Open a marker to identify the connected record.
  5. Correct the source record if a marker is missing or misplaced.

Map positions come from the saved record. Edit an apiary, hive, or trap rather than treating the map as a separate copy.

Add a neighboring yard​

Feature availability

Neighbor Yards appears when neighboring-yard records are enabled for the current workspace.

  1. Open Neighbor Yards or the related map control.
  2. Add the known location and a clear name.
  3. Record lightweight ownership or contact notes only when appropriate.
  4. Save and confirm the location appears on the map.

Neighbor-yard entries provide local context. They do not grant another beekeeper access to your workspace and should not contain unnecessary personal information.
