## What is Hive Notes?

Hive Notes helps beekeepers track their hives without the paperwork.
-----
Spend less time on records, more time with your bees.


What You Can Track:
-----
- Apiaries and hive locations
- Inspection observations (queen seen, brood pattern, temperament, stores)
- Quick events and photos
- Complete inspection history per hive

Built for Real Beekeeping:
-----
- Works offline at remote apiaries
- Syncs across your devices with iCloud
- Simple, reliable data tracking
- Your data stays yours

Hive Notes respects the craft of beekeeping. It's not trying to replace your experience. It's here to organize your observations so you can make better decisions about your hives.


Whether you manage a backyard apiary or multiple locations, Hive Notes gives you a clear picture of each hive's history when you need it.
