Everything about your hives, kept for you
What a hive monitor measures, what a good beekeeper writes down, and the weather in between: together, so each one explains the others.
See inside the hive without opening it
Weight, brood temperature, humidity, light and bee traffic from every hive, charted by the hour, day, week or season.
- Hive weight with your boxes, lids and feeders subtracted, so you see bees, brood and honey
- Inside and outside temperature and humidity side by side
- Bee flight activity from an entrance counter
- Charts from the last day to the whole season, with your inspections and records marked on them
- Every reading is kept: compare this year with last year
Alerts that know a beekeeper was there
Get told about a swarm, robbing, a honey flow, a hive that stopped reporting, or mites over your threshold.
- Sudden weight drop (swarm), weight loss on a warm day (robbing), steady gain (honey flow)
- Weight loss over days, readings outside a range, a hive that stops reporting
- Mite count over threshold, no mite check after a treatment, an old queen, an overdue inspection
- Poor air quality at the apiary
- Weight changes right after an inspection or a logged record are ignored, so pulling a super isn't a swarm
- Close an alert with what really happened, and log the record in the same step
Hive records that keep themselves tidy
Inspections, mite tests, treatments, feedings, harvests, equipment changes and queens, on one timeline per hive.
- Inspections with brood pattern, frames of bees, queen seen, temperament and notes
- Mite tests (alcohol or soap wash, sugar roll, CO₂, sticky board) worked out per 100 bees
- Treatments with product, dose, dates, lot and EPA numbers, and a printable treatment log
- Feedings, harvests and equipment changes; adding or removing a box updates the hive's weight
- Queen history: where she came from, her marking colour, and when she was introduced and replaced
- A season summary per hive, and the outside temperature filled in from the apiary's weather
The weather your bees are flying in
Weather and air quality at every apiary, next to what the hives are doing.
- Current conditions and forecast for each apiary
- Air quality and smoke, with an alert when it gets bad
- Pollen counts where a provider covers your area
- Your own weather station, if you have one, through the HiveDevice software
Every yard on one map
Group hives into apiaries, see them on a map, and move a hive between yards without losing its history.
- Apiaries with their own location, weather and air quality
- A map of all your yards
- A hive keeps its history when it moves
- Hives without a monitor still get records and reminders for inspections and mite checks
Bee clubs
Invite your club, share the hives you choose, and compare colonies across members.
- Invite members by email or a join link, and share only the hives you pick
- Compare weight and health signs across the club's hives
- Choose how precisely the club sees where your hives are: exact, about 3 miles, or just the town
- Members see shared hives' inspections, mite counts and treatments, so experienced keepers can help early
