bee-keeperGood beekeeping runs on records: what you saw last time decides what you check this time. The problem was never discipline — it was tools that don’t work in a bee yard. bee-keeper is built for exactly that place: gloves on, sun glaring, no signal.
Log an inspection in seconds
Queen seen, eggs, brood, stores, temper, queen cells, notes — captured in a few taps at the hive. Forgot to log one? Back-date it. The point is a record you’ll actually keep, inspection after inspection.
Voice notes with gloves on
When your hands are full, talk instead: record a voice note during the inspection and it stays attached to that hive’s history, next to the structured record.
Every hive keeps its history
Each colony carries its own timeline — inspections, feedings, treatments, harvests — so before you open a hive you know exactly what you’re walking into. Queens, box and frame configurations, photos: all per hive.
Your whole apiary on one board
Arrange the hives on a visual map the way they really stand. One glance shows which colony needs attention; one tap opens its records.
Offline first, by design
Records save to your device instantly and sync in the background when you’re online again — there is no “no connection” error in this app. Your data stays yours: export everything to CSV whenever you want.
