About

HiveLedger

Features
Read full description

HiveLedger keeps every colony in one place: a glove-friendly inspection checklist, queen status and age, treatments and feeding, swarm and split notes, and honey harvests that add up to a season you can actually read. Open a hive and the card tells you what you need at the box: the queen's marking colour and age from her birth year, her laying status, frames of bees and brood, temperament, and the last time you checked. Tap Inspect and a big-button checklist saves the whole visit in one tap: queen seen, eggs seen, queen cells, brood pattern, stores, space, and a mite wash counted as mites per 100 bees. HiveLedger does the math beekeepers care about. Mite washes become a per-hive trend with an action band, so you know when a colony crosses into treat territory. Splits link back to the mother hive so lineage reads parent to daughter. Harvests roll up into season totals and a per-hive ranking, and the whole yard lands on one chronological season timeline. The yard health board reads every active colony at once and surfaces what needs hands today: mites over the threshold, queen trouble, overdue inspections, and open treatment withdrawal windows, sorted by urgency. WHAT YOU GET - Hive cards with the queen's marking colour, age, laying status, strength, and temperament - A glove-friendly inspection checklist that saves in one tap, with treatment and feed quick-fill presets - Mite washes as mites per 100 bees, with a per-hive trend and an action band - Treatment and feeding records with withdrawal periods and reminders - Swarm, split, and requeen events that link parent and daughter hives - Honey harvest log by hive, with season totals and a per-hive ranking - A season timeline per apiary that mixes every inspection, treatment, and harvest, with a filter by record type - A yard health board that flags mites, queen trouble, overdue checks, and withdrawal windows across the yard - Retire a hive to keep its records without cluttering the active roster - Inspection-due and withdrawal-end reminders FREE AND PRO Free keeps two hives with the full checklist, queen tracking, treatments, harvests, the timeline filter, and the recent season history.
