Fluxabee - the smartest way to manage your apiaries. Whether you run 5 hives or 500, Fluxabee gives you the tools to work smarter, not harder. Built by beekeepers, for beekeepers. AI VOICE RECORDINGS Hands full of frames? Just talk. Record your inspections by voice - Fluxabee transcribes them in 24 languages, analyzes the content with AI, and automatically generates summaries, tags, and action items. Three recording modes: - Quick Note for fast entries - Listening Mode for extended hands-free inspections - Upload Mode for seamless integration with external voice recorders - just connect, select your files, and let AI process even hours-long recordings REAL-TIME HIVE SCALE MONITORING Connect your Fluxabee Hive Scale and track weight changes 24/7. See daily nectar flow, 7-day trends, temperature, humidity, battery level, and signal strength - all updated in real time. Home screen widgets let you check your hives without even opening the app. COMPLETE HIVE MANAGEMENT Track every hive across multiple locations. Monitor colony strength, swarm mood, queen status, and inspection history at a glance. Color-coded status grids give you an instant overview of your entire operation. Batch-create hives, organize by location type (stationary, temporary, mobile), and manage hive types and manufacturers. QUEEN TRACKING & BREEDING Follow your queens from isolation to emergence. Track queen status, marking, lineage, and supersedure history. Manage queen breeders, queen lines, and mating stations - everything you need for a structured breeding program. SMART TASK MANAGEMENT Create todos manually or let AI generate them from your voice recordings. Filter by date, location, or status. Never miss an inspection deadline again. Home screen widgets keep your tasks visible at all times. WEATHER FORECASTS Detailed weather data for every apiary location - temperature, precipitation, wind, and humidity.
