Onboarding Walkthrough
After creating your account and verifying your email, ApiaryPilot guides you through a quick onboarding flow to get everything set up.
Step 1: Welcome
You'll be greeted with a welcome screen. Click Let's get started to begin.

Step 2: Organization Setup
Enter a name for your beekeeping operation. This will be the workspace that all your apiaries, hives, and team members belong to.

- Example names: "Smith Bee Farm", "Valley Apiaries", "Urban Honey Co."
Step 3: Add Your First Apiary
Optionally add your first apiary with a name and location. You can skip this and add one later.

Step 4: Two-Factor Authentication
You'll be asked to set up 2FA to secure your account. This is a mandatory step — see the 2FA article for detailed instructions.

Step 5: Ready to Go
Once MFA is configured, you'll see a summary of your setup. Click Go to Dashboard to start using ApiaryPilot. A 7-day free trial is automatically started.
