Queen Management
Track and manage queen information for your hives.
Adding a New Queen
Currently, you can add a new queen through the hive's side menu:
- Navigate to a hive's detail page
- Open the hive side menu
- Select "Add Queen" option
- Enter the new queen's information
When you add a new queen, it will automatically replace any existing active queen in that hive.
