NahlLens helps beekeepers record hive-frame inspections with on-device computer vision and offline-first field records. Point the camera at a brood frame, review Varroa detection boxes, then commit the scan to a selected hive. Each saved scan keeps frame count, mite count, infestation percentage, confidence, time, location/geohash when permission is granted, and sync status. What you can do: - Create local apiaries and hives. - Run a Varroa-focused camera scan on device. - Adjust confidence threshold and use torch controls in the field. - Save each scan to hive history. - Review infestation history and regional heatmap groups. - Keep working offline; pending scans sync when connectivity returns. - Use the bilingual English and Arabic interface. NahlLens is a field record and decision-support tool for beekeepers. It does not replace professional agricultural inspection, treatment advice, or local authority guidance.
