HiveLog: Apiary & Bee Log

HiveLog is the digital hive logbook for hobbyist and sideline beekeepers — fast to log, hard to lose, and smart enough to suggest what's next. Built for the bee suit pocket: large tap targets, glove-friendly controls, fully offline.

KEEP EVERY HIVE STRAIGHT
• Organize hives under one or more apiaries with map pins.
• Configurable box stacks (deep / medium / shallow), frame counts, color tags.
• Hive type (Langstroth, Top-Bar, Warre, Flow, other), source (package, nuc, swarm, split, cutout), and status (active, dead, sold, merged, absconded).

LOG INSPECTIONS IN 60 SECONDS
• Single sectioned wizard — no swiping through pages.
• Behavior, brood, queen sighting, varroa pressure, weather (auto-fetched).
• Photos and voice notes attached to every inspection.
• Designed for gloved hands: tabular numerals, segmented controls, chip pickers.

TRACK WHAT MATTERS
• Treatments with optional auto-scheduled follow-up tasks.
• Feedings — syrup ratios, fondant, pollen patty, dry sugar.
• Harvests — honey, wax, propolis, pollen, in metric or imperial.
• Mite counts — alcohol wash, sugar roll, sticky board, cappings — with auto-computed rate against your threshold.
• Queens with marking colors (auto-suggested by birth year), lineage tree, replacement history.
• Splits and swarm helper with daughter-hive setup.

STAY ON TOP OF WORK
• Tasks and calendar with recurring schedules (weekly, biweekly, monthly, seasonal).
• Local reminders that reschedule automatically when you edit.
• Searchable journal across every hive.
• Per-hive timeline of every event in chronological order.
UNDERSTAND YOUR DATA
• Insights — mite trend chart with threshold overlay, harvest yield bars.
• Year-in-review recap, computed on-device.
• Per-hive PDF export straight to the share sheet.
• Bloom calendar by USDA zone.
• Pest and disease reference guide with photos and treatments.

WORK SMARTER WITH AI (Pro)
• Photo pest and disease identification.
• Voice-to-text inspection notes that auto-fill the wizard.
• Beekeeping coach chat with full context of your hives.
• Treatment efficacy analyzer (before/after mite comparison).
• Smart next-action suggestions.
• AI-narrated PDF summaries.

WORKS WHERE YOU DO
• Fully offline-first — log a wet inspection, sync when you're back on wifi.
• Light and dark themes.
• Metric or imperial throughout.
• Sign in with Apple, Google, Email, or as a guest (link to a permanent account later without losing data).
• Share an apiary read-only with a partner or mentor using a one-tap code.
