FAQ Mobile Computing for Commercial Bee Keepers

Do I have to use a specialist rugged handheld computer in order to operate XenBee?
No, you can use any Windows Mobile PDA Smartphone or a Tablet computer using XP Vista or 7. Please contact us for ideas on devices - there are plenty to choose from!


What level of tracking is included?
You can operate at whichever level you choose; Site, Hive, Queen or Super. Just remember that the level and quality of information you are able to report on depends on the level of information you enter. If you record at the Site level only, then you can track at the Site level only. We also offer a Google map tracking interface so you can see users on a large site.


Who can access my data?
Only those whom you have authorised to do so.


How do I identify my hives?
This is achieved by attaching a code and/or barcode to the hive and recording within the application. The barcode is then scanned by the barcode reader attached to the handheld computer, which makes the hive information immediately available to you. If you are not using a handheld computer with barcode scanner, you can locate the hive from a list on the desktop.


What kind of Barcodes should be used?
Whilst optional Barcodes are a great idea for boosting accuracy. Linear 1 Dimensional are easy to print and read with off the shelf equipment. Specifically CODE39, CODE128.
