About

MyApiary

Features
Read full description

MyApiary is a practical, no-nonsense beekeeping app built by a beekeeper who got tired of messy notebooks and scattered records. Document everything the way you actually work Supported languages: SE-Swedish, GB-English, DE-German, FR-French, ES-Spanish. Modular Inspections — Choose exactly what you want to record each time. Keep it light for a quick check or go deep with full health, brood, temperament and treatment notes. No forced fields. Voice-First Logging — Talk while you work (hands stay on the frames). The app turns your words into structured inspection records. Full Colony History That Travels — Every hive and queen has a permanent ID. When you sell, give away or move a colony, the new owner gets the complete history — all inspections, Varroa treatments, queen changes and notes. No more starting from zero. Other things you'll use every season Local community signals — see anonymous Varroa levels and spring activity in your area. Queen management & rearing calendar. Honey harvest & sales tracking with receipts. Varroa journal and treatment log. Smart winter feeding calculator. Offline-first — works perfectly out in the apiary. Multiple apiaries, detailed box/ladder views, drawings and more. Whether you're a hobby beekeeper with a few hives or managing a larger operation, MyApiary gives you full control without the hassle. Completely free while we're building the user base. Feedback is very welcome — this is still a one-person project made for real beekeepers. Download MyApiary and try it on your next inspection.
