Scheduled Inspections

Plan inspections in advance so they show up on your calendar and you can pick the best weather window. Schedule a single hive or many at once.

When to Use It​

  • You want to plan the week's apiary work around the weather.
  • You're coordinating inspections across multiple hives or apiaries.
  • You want upcoming inspections to appear on your dashboard and calendar.

Scheduling Inspections​

  1. Go to Schedule Inspection (/inspections/schedule), reachable from the quick-action menu.
  2. Select the hives you want to inspect. You can filter and select several across an apiary.
  3. Review the weather forecast shown for the apiary — temperature, humidity, and wind for the coming days — to choose a good date.
  4. Pick a date (and optionally a specific time, or leave it as an all-day plan).
  5. Add an optional note.
  6. Choose how to create them:
    • Individual scheduled inspections, one per hive, or
    • A single batch you can run through in one session (give it a name).
  7. Submit.

What Happens Next​

  • Scheduled inspections appear on your calendar and dashboard as upcoming tasks.
  • When you open and save a scheduled inspection, it is automatically marked completed (unlike a manual inspection, which you save as draft or explicitly complete).

FAQ​

Where does the weather forecast come from? From the weather integration tied to the apiary's GPS location. See Weather.

Can I schedule the same date for many hives? Yes — select multiple hives, pick the date, and either create individual inspections or one batch.

Do I have to inspect on the scheduled day? No. A scheduled inspection is a plan; you can complete it whenever you actually do the work, or reschedule it.
