Guides and manual
This page gives you a practical overview of what BeeVault can do, which features are already built into the app, and how you can use each area in day-to-day beekeeping.
BeeVault is part of Lunarsmith
You register, log in, and log out through Lunarsmith. Open the app drawer in the top-left corner of the sidebar to switch between Lunarsmith apps and come back to BeeVault anytime.
Use the app drawer to switch apps
The app drawer in the top-left of the sidebar is your shortcut back to Lunarsmith and the other apps connected to the same account.
Refreshing is usually enough
Because BeeVault shares the same cookie session, returning here or refreshing the page is usually enough after you log in on Lunarsmith.
How the interface works
BeeVault follows consistent UI patterns, so once you learn one area, the rest of the app feels familiar and faster to use.
Tables and record lists
Most BeeVault records live in tables or structured lists, so you can scan larger workspaces, compare records, and open the one you need quickly.
Search, sort, and filters
You can search by text, switch search context where available, sort data, and filter records to focus on the exact hive, date, status, or type you need.
Create and extend records
You can create new records directly from list pages or through dedicated create pages, then keep extending those records as your apiary data grows.
Show, edit, and delete flows
BeeVault lets you open records in modals or full pages, edit them in the same familiar layout, and remove records when they are no longer needed.
Refresh and related navigation
Most pages let you reload data and jump into related records, so you can move from a hive to its inspections, varroa checks, harvests, or other linked areas without losing context.
Exports and working context
When export tools or attachment tools are available, BeeVault keeps them close to the records you are working on, so reporting and follow-up stay part of the same workflow.
Explore each BeeVault area
Open any guide to see what that part of BeeVault is for, what records you can manage there, and how it connects to the rest of your beekeeping workflow.
