Feature · Queen Bee Tracking

Your queen's entire history, in one tap.

With Kovan IQ's queen bee tracking feature, catalog every queen's code, breed and origin, and look back through hive assignments and status changes as a genealogy.

What you can do

Every step of queen management

Code, Breed & Origin

Enter a code and breed for each queen, and note whether she was raised by you or purchased.

Hive Assignment

Assign the queen directly to a hive; maintenance records for that hive are then tied to this assignment.

Genealogy History

When you change a hive assignment, previous assignments are kept — see which queen was in which hive, looking back in time.

Status Tracking

Track each queen's current status: Cell, Virgin, Mated, Laying, Sold, Dead/Lost, Replaced.

Performance Notes

Add performance notes for each queen; compare which line performed best at the end of the season.

Sales Record

List and track queens you've sold separately, with buyer, date and note details.
