Beekeeping

BeeApp Module

This module has two components: BeeApp Mobile that works offline to capture inspection data and BeeApp Online that allows you to view that data in real-time and gain insights into your business.

Feature Highlights

Hive/Apiary Inspections

Use our mobile application to rapidly perform apiary or hive inspections in a standardized way.

Depend on BeeApp to automatically capture time, GPS location, user and other related data.

Capture data while offline and see it upload automatically once a connection is established.

Calendar & Scheduling

View all inspection activity, historic and planned, on a built-in calendar.

Schedule site visits for you or your teams and easily reschedule if your plans change.

Have BeeApp automatically suggest maintenance events based on previous events.

Hive/Apiary Performance & Profitability

Measure and view honey production from each hive or apiary.

View disease incidents (AFB, varroa, etc) recorded for hive or apiary.

Measure hive and apiary performance over time (hive strength, hive counts, honey supers, etc).
