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.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: RY_Speaker at none against HiveLedger's 3. RY_Speaker also leads on iOS requirement (9.0 vs 18.0). HiveLedger's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 3 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
