Fluxabee brings your apiary records and hive-scale measurements into one app. Keep inspections, notes and tasks together, follow changes in hive weight, and use voice AI to turn spoken observations into records you can review. ONE PLAN FOR THE OWNER'S ACCOUNT A plan covers all apiaries belonging to the same owner. Hive limits, included scales and AI points are shared across those apiaries. Invited members and viewers keep their assigned permissions; only the billing owner purchases or restores the plan. Scale: scale setup, measurements and data access for 1 scale. Creating or editing beekeeping records and AI are not included. Basic: up to 10 hives in total, beekeeping records, data access for 1 scale and 2,000 AI points per year. Pro: unlimited hives, beekeeping records, data access for 2 scales, 10,000 AI points per year, queen detection and varroa counting from photos. TRY FLUXABEE New accounts receive a 14-day trial with up to 200 hives and 100 AI points. The trial does not automatically become a paid subscription. After the trial or paid access expires, previously saved records and accessible history remain available to read. Creating and editing beekeeping records requires an active Basic or Pro plan after the trial. SCALE DATA Compatible Fluxabee hardware is needed for scale measurements and is not included in a digital purchase. Each new scale has its own free first year of data. Additional coverage is a separate, one-time purchase for one selected scale for one year, without automatic renewal. An active account plan is required to access newly available scale data. Measurements continue to be collected during a coverage gap. Renewing the account plan and the scale's coverage unlocks that gap. Previously accessible history stays available; scale measurements are retained for up to two years. YOUR FIRST SCALE The first qualifying scale purchase includes one free year of the Scale account plan, once per owner, without automatic paid renewal. Further scales do not extend that account-plan year. Each new scale also has its own free first year of data. PURCHASES AND RENEWAL Scale, Basic and Pro are annual subscriptions that renew automatically until cancelled in App Store. The store displays the applicable price, billing period and renewal terms before payment. Manage or cancel a subscription in the store where it was purchased; cancellation keeps access through the paid period. Annual AI points reset at renewal and do not roll over. Separately purchased AI points do not expire; using them requires an active Basic or Pro plan. AI-generated results can be reviewed before you accept them.
