Frequently Asked Questions
Is PollenOps free?
All calculator tools are free to use. The Dashboard features require an account.
Do I need an account?
Not for the free calculator tools. Dashboard features, data saving, and operation management require an account.
Is my data saved?
Calculator tools run in your browser and are not saved on our servers unless you are logged in. Use the copy or print features to save results.
Can I use PollenOps for a small hobby operation?
Yes, but the tools are designed for commercial operations with 500-50,000+ hives. Hobby beekeepers will still find the calculators useful.
How accurate are the calculations?
Our tools use standard industry formulas and published reference data. They are planning tools — always verify critical decisions with in-hive inspections and consult your state apiarist.
How do I get help?
Use the AI assistant (chat bubble, bottom-right) for instant help, browse this Help Center, or contact support at support@pollenops.com.
What data sources does the AI use?
When on the Dashboard, the AI can query your operation's real-time data (yards, hives, contracts, honey production). On tool pages, it uses the values you have entered in the calculator.
