Bee Api
Read full descriptionHide full description
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.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: BeekeeperTech at none against Bee Api's 2. Bee Api's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
