# Managing Your Hive

Being Queen of a Hive means its your responsibility to manage the voting power that your Hive controls.&#x20;

You can manage this as passively or actively as you like! Are you a profit maxi Queen? Direct those votes towards the gauges with the highest available rewards.&#x20;

Working with a protocol to ensure that their bribes are going into hodlers hands? Set your votes to their gauge and go off and live your life.

**In contrast to Beradrome's UI, Queens do not need to assign votes weekly. Apiary's contracts will automatically assign votes where the Queen wishes.**

Hives are designed to be as simple to manage as they are to deposit into,&#x20;
