Weather

The forecast comes from the apiary's place on the map, so the apiary needs one first. Without it, the apiary page asks you to set the address and Home leaves it out of the weather list. On the web app you do the same by editing the apiary and setting its address or its position on the map.

Every apiary with a place on the map shows its weather: now, and the next seven days.

Select a step to see where to tap

1. 1Open the apiary; the “Weather” section is at the top
2. 2The headline shows the weather now, with a verdict: Good conditions for opening hives, or Not ideal for opening hives
3. 3Under “7-day forecast”, each day shows the high and the low, the rain in mm and the strongest wind in km/h
4. 4A green tick marks a good day. The rule is written under the list: Good day for inspections: at least 15 °C, wind under 30 km/h, no rain

3. Click the 'Weather' toggle button in the chart toolbar
4. Temperature and precipitation data appear as an overlay on your charts

Use weather data to make smarter beekeeping decisions.

• Schedule inspections on warm, calm days (above 15°C, low wind)
• Avoid opening hives on rainy or cold days
• Plan treatments around dry weather windows for better effectiveness
• Watch for sudden temperature drops that may require feeding
• Use the forecast to time nectar flow predictions with weight data
• Schedule follow-up inspections on days with favorable weather
