Harvest Management

HiveBook™'s Harvest Management tools help you record every product you harvest from your colonies, track yield per hive, and connect harvests to your revenue records. Whether you sell honey at the farmers market or harvest wax for candles, every harvest gets its own entry in your apiary records.

Recording a Harvest

To log a harvest, go to More → Harvest Management and tap the + button. Each harvest record captures:

• Hive — which colony produced the harvest
• Product type — what you harvested
• Date — when the harvest took place
• Quantity and unit — how much was harvested (pounds, kilograms, ounces, jars, etc.)
• Notes — any observations about the harvest quality, color, or source nectar flow

Harvest Product Types

HiveBook supports all major hive products:

Recording the product type lets you filter harvest records by type and see separate analytics for each product category.

Make sure your varroa treatment withdrawal period has ended before recording a honey harvest. HiveBook tracks withdrawal periods in the Treatment Log so you always know when it is safe to extract.

Harvest Analytics Pro

With a Pro or Premium subscription, Harvest Analytics (More → Analytics & Forecasts → Harvest Analytics) gives you charts and trend data across all your harvests:

• Total yield by product type per season
• Honey yield per hive — see which colonies are your top producers
• Seasonal yield trends across years
• Harvest timing relative to bloom calendar events

Revenue Tracking from Harvests

After logging a harvest, you can create a corresponding revenue entry in the Revenue section (More → Revenue) to track what you earned from selling the product. This links your production records to your financial records, giving you a complete picture of your apiary's output and income.

See the Expenses & Revenue guide for more detail on financial tracking.
