Since the time coverage of BATSE is nearly complete over 8 years, this instrument offers a unique opportunity to monitor highly variable sources such as blazars in a relatively unexplored energy band (20-100 keV). Here we present some examples of this capability which is particularly useful during period of flaring activity. Four years of monitoring of the QSO 71.07 in the hard X-ray band is presented which indicates enhanced hard X-ray emission during an optical flare. BATSE also allowed the extraction of spectra during bright states. These data indicate that the spectrum steepens when the source is brighter. Results are also presented for the BL Lacs MKN501 and PKS 2005-489 during high energy flares, first detected by other instruments. The potential of using BATSE to study sources over long periods of time and to follow the emission before and after flares is clearly demonstrated. .
