Apiary Tools

Apiary Tools is a simple, powerful app for keeping track of your bees. Whether you run one backyard hive or manage dozens across multiple yards, it keeps your records, reminders, and beekeeping math in one place.

KEEP A RECORD OF EVERY HIVE
Log your apiaries, hives, and queens, and build a full inspection history with notes and photos. See how each colony is doing over time instead of trying to remember it all.

INSPECTIONS MADE EASY
Record what you saw on each visit: brood pattern, stores, temperament, queen sightings, mite counts, treatments, and more. Log what you treated with and the dose, so the season's treatment history is in the record. Add photos so you can compare a frame week to week.

IN YOUR LANGUAGE
The whole app works in 21 languages besides English, including Spanish, German, French, Portuguese, Italian, Dutch, Polish, Japanese, Hindi, Arabic, and Hebrew, with proper right-to-left layout.

WORKS WITHOUT SIGNAL
Bee yards are not known for good reception. Anything you log offline is saved on the device and syncs itself the moment you are back in range.

SHARE HIVE ACCESS
Give helpers, family members, mentors, or beekeeping partners access to specific hives or apiaries. Let others add inspections, notes, and photos without sharing your login.

NEVER MISS A FOLLOW-UP
Set reminders for treatments, feedings, and checks, and get a notification when something is due. Stay on schedule through the whole season.

KNOW WHAT IS BLOOMING
Enter your ZIP or postcode and see your region's beekeeping year: the main flow, the summer dearth, the fall flow, and the forage plants behind each. The forage range map draws the 1, 2, and 3 mile rings your bees actually work, with the acreage inside each.

BEEKEEPING CALCULATORS
Twenty-one free tools, so you can stop doing the math by hand:
- Sugar syrup ratios for spring and fall feeding
- Varroa mite counts, natural drop counts, oxalic dosing, and a treatment comparison
- Splits, queen rearing, grafting, and post-swarm timelines
- Honey yield, moisture, label generator, and mead
- Overwinter feed and pollen patties

GUIDES
Two dozen practical guides on varroa treatment options, when to treat, winter stores, labeling requirements with a searchable 50 state reference, and selling honey where you live.

TRACK YOUR GEAR
Keep a simple inventory of your equipment and supplies so you know what you have before the season starts.

REPORT AND LOG SWARMS
Record swarm calls and captures, and keep notes on where they came from and where they ended up.
