The Last Visits option in the yard map, allows you to quickly access the state of your operation. Ensuring that all yards are visited on a regular basis will improve the health of your hives. The map also helps assure you that your data in BeeTrack accurately represents reality by ensuring all visits are logged. The map allows you to quickly see clusters of yards that need more attention so you can plan your visits accordingly.
Ideally, all active yards in your Manager's Portal stay green. When a yard changes to yellow or red, this should act as a signal that the yard should be visited. Depending on the time of the season, the ideal visit interval will change.

Tips and tricks
Filter by date range
If you want to narrow down your yard visit history and see only those that occurred within a certain timeframe, you can use the filter by date range feature. This can be accessed either by selecting a specific date range in the last visits panel, or by going to the filters section.
Hide street and city names
If you find the street and city names on a map to be distracting or overwhelming, you can easily hide them from view. By doing so, you can focus your attention on the most essential information presented on the map. Simply click on the layer icon and select Hide street names.
