Welcome, BeeKeeperLite is an idea by the owner of the Artisan Honey Company, based in Lincoln, UK. The App has been made a reality by Interneers, Web Hosting and App Dev Company, also based in the UK. This Lite App gives the user the ability to store data about BeeKeeping sites, hives and provides a checklist for each visit made to a hive. With the ability to add notes and photos for each site, hive and visit, required tasks will never be overlooked. With location data available the sites and hives can be viewed on a Map, provided by the software on your device. Information and photos can be exported for storage allowing the information to be stored by the user and then remove all information from the app, useful to reset each year if you have a large beekeeping business.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: BeeKeeperLite at 70% against Bee Health's 21%. BeeKeeperLite also leads on rating (5.0 vs 2.8) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 12 months). Bee Health's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
