Transhumance Mode
You will need this feature when you will have to move your beehives to a new site. Transhumance is the voluntary displacement of hives from one location to another to take advantage of the best climate conditions and beekeeping flora. Using the Transhumance Mode, you will not need to shut down and reactivate your devices manually, which is not a good beekeeping practice after moving the apiary. So, before moving your hives, it is important to put your device in transhumance mode via the mobile application. Otherwise, the device will trigger the theft alerts and GPS tracking at the slightest movement.
