HiveKeeper

HiveKeeper is the apiary management app built for UK beekeepers — designed at a real 24-hive apiary in Brigstock, Northamptonshire and tested by working beekeepers.

RECORD INSPECTIONS BY VOICE

Speak your notes naturally while your hands are in the hive. "Queen seen on frame four, six frames of brood, stores adequate, no swarm cells." HiveKeeper extracts queen status, brood frames, stores level, swarm risk, varroa and temper automatically. No typing required.

AI FRAME ANALYSIS

Upload photos of your frames and ask HiveKeeper AI to analyse them. Identify brood patterns, queen cells, disease indicators and store levels from your photos.

HIVE HEALTH TRACKING

Every hive gets a health score after each inspection. Track trends over time, get priority alerts when action is needed, and see your top colony at a glance.

SEASONAL ALERTS

HiveKeeper knows the UK beekeeping calendar. Get timely reminders for swarm season, OSR extraction, varroa treatments, winter prep and more — based on your apiary location.

ASIAN HORNET WATCH

See the nearest confirmed Asian Hornet sighting to your apiary, updated automatically from UK sighting data.

SHARE YOUR APIARY

Invite fellow beekeepers or trainees to view or help manage your apiary. Collaborators can record inspections on your hives — perfect for association apiaries and teaching.

CALENDAR SUBSCRIPTION

Subscribe to your HiveKeeper inspection calendar in Apple Calendar, Google Calendar or Outlook. Inspection reminders and seasonal events sync automatically.

SOS EMERGENCY ALERT

One tap sends your GPS location and a Google Maps navigation link to your emergency contact via SMS and WhatsApp simultaneously. Designed for solo beekeeping.

QR AND NFC HIVE TAGS

Generate a QR code for each hive. Scan it to open straight to that hive's inspection screen — no searching required.

Record inspections without signal. Everything syncs to the cloud when you're back online.
