Apiary management with hive records, harvests, inventory management, stock control, treatment journal, iPhone and Android apps

Effective apiary management with the iBeekeeper app

Welcome to iBeekeeper, your practical solution for apiary management. With our beekeeping app you get a clear overview and more enjoyment in your daily beekeeping tasks. From observing your bee colonies to the harvest – iBeekeeper is the software that helps you keep track.

Bee colonies

Keep a clear overview of your bee colonies with our apiary management. You can adapt iBeekeeper to your own way of working – whether for the hive records, the colony data or with practical quick buttons for new entries. This makes documentation easier and gives you more time for your bees.

Hive records

You can adapt the iBeekeeper hive records to your needs. You'll find ready-made templates from experienced beekeepers that you can use right away. When your requirements change, you can extend or redesign your hive records at any time – without any programming knowledge.

Inventory

With the inventory management you keep track of your supplies and materials. You can create different storage locations such as shelves or boxes and more easily find what you need right now. The handy best-before reminder helps you sell your products in time before they expire.

Harvest

Record your various bee products – from honey to pollen and wax through to royal jelly and propolis. You can sort your honey harvests by variety and assign them to the respective colonies. Over time you'll see which colonies are especially productive and which honey varieties work well for you.

Locations

Whether you keep your bees in one fixed place or move around as a migratory beekeeper – you can simply enter your locations by address or record them on site with your phone. iBeekeeper creates a migration log showing you when your colonies stood where – handy for your documentation.

Bee weather

When iBeekeeper knows your apiary location, our software shows you the most important weather data for your work at the apiary. This helps you find favourable moments for your beekeeping tasks and gives hints about the likely behaviour of your colonies, for example during swarming season. A little help for your planning.

Voice notes

With voice notes you can dictate your observations right at the hive instead of typing awkwardly with gloves on. You simply speak into your smartphone and the app turns your words into text. This saves time and you won't forget any important details. Especially handy when you're working with the bees and want to record something quickly.

Photos

A picture is worth a thousand words – even in beekeeping. With photos you document the state of your colonies or special observations. You can take pictures of combs, brood or the queen and assign them to your hive record entries. This way you keep an eye on how your colonies develop and can ask other beekeepers for advice when needed.

Task lists

With task lists you keep track of upcoming work. You can create your own lists or use our templates and assign them to your colonies or locations. This way you always know what to do next – whether it's the varroa treatment, adding honey supers or other regular beekeeping tasks.
