For the proper organization and effective use of the honey base of beekeeping, it is important to assess the honey productivity of the area. Honey plants are a source of food for bees and commercial products of apiaries. The nectar collected on them is processed by bee colonies into honey, and a stock of bee bread is created from flower pollen. When assessing the area in a melliferous relation and compiling a honey balance of an apiary, it is necessary: take into account the species composition of honey plants in the area of productive flight of apiary bees; identify the area occupied by honey plants; calculate the honey reserve of the area; determine the number of bee colonies that can be provided with honey in a given apiary. Features of the app: Apiaries - creation of apiaries and showing their locations on the map; - displaying a list of fields; - recording the weight of control hives; - recording weather data; - adding photos. Fields - creation of fields on a map of the area; - determination of productive areas of the field, for each apiary separately; - distribution of fields into groups. Floral sources - creation of honey plants; - making the sequence of flowering. The beginning of flowering of melliferous plants depends on the latitude and longitude of the area, growing conditions, as well as meteorological indicators of a given year, but the sequence of flowering of honey plants for all areas is more or less the same. Synchronization The app allows you to synchronize data on all devices: - automatic synchronization between a computer, phone or tablet; - start work on one device and continue on another.

You are looking for a simple and visual application that would allow you to manage your apiary? A clear and intuitive bee management solution designed for beekeepers by a beekeeper. You may just have found it! And to put a smile on your face, we named it Bee Api. This application is built around the idea of a calendar referencing all the interventions and observations you make on your apiary. Notes, sounds, images, PDF, and a whole range of tools already built-in allow you to clearly and effortlessly reference the life of your hives throughout the year. Record weather, honey flows, brood observation, feeding, swarming, division, requeening, transhumance, disease and treatment. Generate a QR code to stick on your hives for quick access. Work offline, locally on your smartphone or sync your data to the cloud to share and secure it. Export and import your data (CSV and JSON). We offer two versions. The first one, free of charge, allows you to manage one single hive. The second one, for a fee, allows you to manage and synchronize hives and apiaries, without limitations and on several devices. We are committed to avoid any advertising spam and, rest assured, your data will neither be collected, nor sold to anyone. We chose a pricing that we believe is reasonable and appropriate for maintenance and further development of this application. Many features are in the works.
