A Familiar Story?
You're at the apiary. You've just suited up, got your smoker going nicely, and you're standing in front of hive number 3.
"Now, what was happening in this one last time? Was this the colony with the new queen? Or was that number 5?"
Your notebook is back in the car. Or maybe at home. Even if you had it with you, flipping through pages with gloves on isn't exactly practical.
This is where WeBeeS helps. Pull out your phone, open a web browser to webees.co.uk, scan the little QR code on the hive, and there's your answer. Last inspection notes, right there on your screen.

The Honest Truth
Look, WeBeeS isn't going to make you a better beekeeper. Only experience and learning from your bees will do that.
But it will help you remember what you've learned. It'll save you from that frustrating feeling of "I know I saw something important last week, but which hive was it?"
Some people use it for everything. Others just for the basics - queen status, treatment dates, that sort of thing. Use it however works for you.
