- Start a voice inspection, lock your phone, and keep working the hive - the recording continues hands-free until the 60-second limit and saves the instant it ends, with a spoken confirmation through your headset. - Replay a saved inspection recording with your phone locked or in your pocket. The hive name and playback controls appear right on the lock screen. - Spoken confirmations now come through clearly on Bluetooth headsets, and a recording cut off at the time limit tells you so. - Reliability fixes for recordings made with the screen locked.

Thank you. Great to see you are finding our app helpful !
WhisperBee is a hands-free AI assistant designed for beekeepers. It allows you to record hive inspections using your voice, and the AI automatically extracts structured data like queen sightings, brood patterns, and varroa counts into editable records.
Yes, WhisperBee is built to work offline. All your recordings, photos, and edits are saved locally on your phone first. The app syncs data in the background once a network connection is available, ensuring no work is lost even in remote bee yards.
WhisperBee is privacy-first. GPS coordinates are owner-only, and voice recordings are encrypted in transit. The AI transcription services used do not retain your audio for training. You can export all your data or delete your account end-to-end from the app.
WhisperBee offers a free tier for up to 2 hives. Paid plans include Backyard at $8/month for up to 10 hives, Sideliner at $19/month for up to 50 hives, and Commercial at $49/month for up to 500 hives. Subscriptions can be cancelled anytime.
The transcription is specifically tuned with a beekeeping vocabulary list and uses a deterministic rules layer for post-correction. This ensures terms like 'supersedure,' 'varroa,' and 'requeening' are transcribed correctly without requiring over-enunciation.
Absolutely. The AI is used for data entry, not diagnosis. Every extracted field is fully editable on the inspection screen, giving you complete control over your hive records. AI suggestions are clearly marked as suggestions.
WhisperBee is currently supported on iPhone and iPod devices. The app is designed to be accessible on the go, allowing beekeepers to manage their apiaries from their mobile devices.
WhisperBee was last updated on July 3, 2026, with version 1.0.0. The app was also released on this date, indicating it is a new application with ongoing development planned.
