Owner at Park Legacy Queens & VP at California Beekeepers Association
I didn't realize when I signed up that I would get all of that GPS data for my hives and everything. Now I can kick that report over to my insurance agent and I'm not going to be missing anything. I'm going to get the full benefit and be able to insure so much more.
Gary Barber
Owner at Bees Unlimited & VP of the Texas Beekeepers Association
I can't be everywhere all the time. So now that every one of my crew has the Nectar app, I can still have my finger on the pulse of the operation without me physically being there all the time.
