The BHive: Higg FEM Connect FAQ
Table of Contents
Getting Started
What is Higg FEM Connect?
Higg FEM Connect is a module in The BHive that uses your chemical data to fill the Chemical Management section of your Higg FEM. You review the answers and send them to Worldly. It is available starting with FEM 2026.
Which FEM sections does it cover?
Only the Chemical Management section of Higg FEM. You complete all other sections in Worldly as usual.
Does it cover earlier FEM years?
No. Higg FEM Connect covers FEM 2026 and onward only.
Who can use it?
Facility accounts on any BHive subscription can use it. You must have a Worldly (Higg) ID on your Factory and Company Profile and a Worldly account linked by The BHive team.
Does it cost extra?
No. Higg FEM Connect is included in your BHive subscription and your Higg subscription. There is no extra payment.
I cannot open Higg FEM Connect. Why?
Add your Worldly (Higg) ID in Factory and Company Profile.
We have several units. How does it work?
Each unit has its own account in The BHive and its own account in Worldly. Each unit links and sends its answers separately.
Why is my inventory not shown, or the count lower than I expect?
The BHive uses only completed chemical inventories from the last 3 full months. The current month does not count.
Check that:
- You uploaded an inventory for each of the last 3 full months. Example: in October, The BHive uses July, August and September.
- Each of these inventories is completed in Chemical Management. Inventories that are not completed are not used.
Account Linking
Why do I need to link my accounts?
The link ensures your answers reach the right facility in Worldly.
How do I request the link?
Click “Request linking” in Higg FEM Connect, or email support@thebhive.net. Include your facility name and your Worldly (Higg) ID.
How long does linking take?
Up to 3 days. You can check and correct your answers in the meantime.
Can I start before the link is ready?
Yes. You can check and correct all answers and attach documents. To review and send, your account must be linked.. Your work saves automatically. You can send as soon as the link is ready.
The Worldly (Higg) ID on the Confirm page is not mine. What do I do?
Do not send. Contact support@thebhive.net.
Answers and Data
Where do the answers come from?
-
Factory and Company Profile - Your facility details
-
Factory Unit Configuration - Your factory type and processes
-
My Facility > Chemical Management Records - Your policies, procedures (SOPs), training records, storage areas, and spills & incidents
-
Chemical Management - Your completed chemical inventories from the last 3 full months, SDS coverage, MRSL conformance, InCheck reports, and corrective action plans
Why are some questions empty?
The BHive has no data for these questions, or the question requires a physical check (for example, chemical storage). You can answer them in The BHive or later in Worldly.
Why is my inventory not used?
The BHive uses the last 3 full months. The current month does not count. If you uploaded only this month, the card shows “No data for [months].” Upload your inventory for those months.
Can I change an answer?
Yes. You can change every answer. Your answer is the one that is sent. To go back, click Use The BHive answer.
Do I need to answer every question?
No. Questions you leave empty arrive empty in Worldly. You answer them there.
Do I lose my work if I leave the page?
No. Your answers save automatically.
If I change an answer here, does it change my BHive data?
No. Changes in Higg FEM Connect do not change your inventory, documents, or My Facility data.
How do I see how my answer was made?
Click Details on the question. You see where the answer comes from, with a link to that data in The BHive. For more detail, click Open chat in Details. The question is added to the chat, and our assistant explains how The BHive answers it.
What does “Remove answer” do?
The question is sent empty, so you can answer it directly in Higg FEM on Worldly. The BHive’s suggestion stays visible. To undo, click Use The BHive answer again.
What is “Changed answers”?
A list of the questions where you picked a different answer than The BHive. It only shows when you have changed at least one answer.
My BHive data changed after I answered. Is my answer updated?
No. Your answer stays. The question shows what The BHive suggests now. Check Changed answers to compare.
Documents
Which documents are attached?
Documents from your Document Center that match the question, such as your chemicals policy, SOPs, training records, and certificates. You can choose other documents or upload new files.
What happens to files I upload in Higg FEM Connect?
The BHive uses them only for this Higg FEM report and sends them with your answers. They are not saved to your Document Center and are removed after your FEM assessment is submitted.
Can I use an expired document?
Yes, but it is marked “Expired” and is not selected for you. Upload a current version if available.
Are safety data sheets attached?
No. The BHive uses your SDS to calculate how much of your inventory has SDS coverage. The SDS files themselves are not sent.
Sending and Importing
What is sent to Worldly?
Your answers to the Chemical Management section and the documents you selected, in one package. Only the Worldly account linked to your facility receives them. Your chemical inventory is attached automatically as Chemical Inventory List (CIL)_[Month Year].
Do my answers appear in my FEM right away?
No. Log in to Worldly, open the Chemical Management section of your Higg FEM (2026 and onward), and click “Import.” It may take up to one minute for import status to refresh from BHive.
What happens to answers already in my FEM?
Import replaces the answers in your FEM Chemical Management section. Review your answers before and after you import.
Who is responsible for the answers?
Your facility. The BHive suggests answers based on your data. You review, confirm, and submit your FEM.
Why can I not send?
When you click Review and send, a pop-up shows what is missing: a chemical inventory from the last 3 full months, at least one record in Chemical Management Records, or a linked Worldly account. Each item has a link to fix it.
Can I send again after I send?
Yes, but we recommend sending from The BHive only once per FEM year. To send your answers again, contact support@thebhive.net.
-
Note: If you import again in Worldly, the import replaces the answers in your FEM chemicals section, including any changes you made in Worldly.
I added data in The BHive after I sent. What do I do?
Change the answers directly in Higg FEM on Worldly. This is the fastest way. To send your updated data from The BHive instead, contact support@thebhive.net.
-
Note: If you import again in Worldly, the import replaces the answers in your FEM chemicals section, including any changes you made in Worldly.
