Stinger

The web app

app.stingerhq.com — the same account, on a screen built for desk work: review the transcript, browse colonies and apiaries, tidy up records, manage reminders, check billing and members. Sign in with Google (or email); the web always asks for a second factor — your authenticator's 6-digit code — because a browser is a bigger door than a phone in your pocket.

Settings

Settings → Organization is the same screen on the web and the phone. Beside the billing time zone it holds the organization's thresholds — the numbers behind Stinger's judgments, each with a default shown greyed and a Reset:

Below the thresholds sits the hive configuration — how your organization runs its hives: the base (deep or medium boxes, and how many — "two deeps") and the super type stacked above it (mediums, shallows or deeps). Stinger uses it two ways. "Add a super to every colony in Rodman" puts the right box on each hive without asking — a hive still short of its base gets a base box, a complete hive gets your super type — and the read-back names what went on ("Added a super to 16 colonies in Rodman — 15 mediums and 1 deep."). And "Which colonies need space?" names the box each one needs. A spoken type always wins ("added a medium super"). Until you set it, Stinger asks "Which box — a deep, a medium, or a shallow?" every time.

Below that sits the measurement systemUS customary (the default) or metric. It sets the units Stinger speaks and shows: the heat warning's temperature, the apiary radius (spoken, on the slider, on the map) and distances. Say a radius in feet or meters either way — "Create apiary Workshop with a 100 foot radius" in a metric organization is stored as 30 meters and read back as "30 meters". The records keep their units; only the words change.

Owners and operations managers can change them; every change is recorded with who made it. A threshold is applied when a question is asked, so changing one never rewrites a record.
