Know whether you are monitoring or assuming
Use an appropriate monitoring method and record the date, method and result. A previous low count does not permanently describe the colony.
Treatment decisions need context
Season, brood state, honey supers, product instructions and colony condition all matter. Follow the authorised product label and current official guidance rather than relying on a generic internet schedule.
Keep treatment records
Record what was used, when it was applied, the colony, relevant batch or medicine details and when any follow-up or removal is due.
Treatment-free still requires monitoring
Choosing not to use routine treatments does not remove the need to understand mite pressure and colony health. Record the evidence and the management approach.
HiveIQ keeps health history with the colony
Monitoring results, treatments, brood observations, photographs and follow-up actions can all be attached to the same trusted colony history.
