BroodMinder Bees vs Hivewire Mobile

BeesApp collects data from BroodMinder devices and uploads it to your account in MyBroodMinder. It allows for both online and offline data collection, viewing, and configuration. This app replaces both BroodMinder Lite and BroodMinder Apiary. The BroodMinder is a professional-grade monitor expressly designed for the apiarist. Drawing on our many years of consumer and scientific product design, we have created a devices that accurately log hive temperature, humidity, and weight once every hour.

Hivewire — Smart Beekeeping & Remote Hive Monitoring Keep your finger on the pulse of every hive — from the yard or from anywhere. Hivewire pairs real-time sensor monitoring with a complete, offline-first record-keeping system, so you always know what's happening inside your colonies and never lose a note in the field. Know before you go: Hivewire's battery-powered sensors stream live data over a long-range mesh network to the cloud and straight to your phone: hive weight, brood-nest temperature and humidity, acoustic activity, and battery and solar status. Watch trends over time, get alerts when something's off, and decide which hives actually need a visit — before you open a single lid. A full beekeeping record, built for the field: Log inspections, treatments, feedings, and harvests in seconds. Track what's in every box and every frame — brood, pollen, and honey — and photograph frames as you work. Everything is offline-first: write it all down with no signal in the apiary, and it syncs the moment you're back in range. Photos, AI, and a second opinion: Attach photos to hives, visits, records, and individual frames. AI automatically identifies what's in your frame photos — capped brood, queen cells, and more. Not sure what you're looking at? Submit any photo for a consult and get a second opinion from a peer or an expert. Manage colonies, queens, and genetics: Follow each colony's story separately from its equipment — splits, combines, requeening, and dead-outs. Keep queen records with tenure and year codes, and use per-line trait scoring and a live selection index to breed from your best stock. Your hardware, your data: Set up and update your hubs, gateways, and sensors right from the app, with over-the-air firmware and direct device management. Solar-ready and cellular-capable for remote yards with no Wi-Fi. More that makes a difference: Multi-hive voice logging — one recording, filed automatically to each hive Hivewire AI assistant for beekeeping questions, grounded in a real knowledge base Shareable apiaries for clubs, mentors, and partners Home screen widgets and push alerts that keep you informed at a glance Whether you run two hives or two hundred, Hivewire helps you spend less time guessing and more time keeping bees.
