LeFrelon Pisteur
Track, converge, help locate nests, in the field.
A free app for beekeepers, associations and volunteers who use the bait station technique and flight timing to work back to the probable location of a nest.
Manage your bait stations
Create and follow your bait stations with their fixings and landmarks, add field notes, tell your observations apart with custom colours and find the history of each station.
Detailed records
View each station in detail: photos, GPS position, observations, markings and all the related readings. Everything is synchronised with your private space on lefrelon.com.
Measure flights
Time hornet flights precisely and record their departure directions with your phone’s compass and GPS (bearing). An essential aid to make readings converge.
Mapping and drawing
See your stations and observations on the map with several base layers. Draw areas, measure distances and identify the probable nest area from your readings.
Summary of your readings
A clear view of the recorded observations and of the probable nest area calculated from the timings and bearings collected in the field.
Shared map
You choose what you share. The community map can show observations shared by other trackers: station positions, flight times, bearings, photos, notes and marking colours.
