Fluxabee
Read full descriptionHide full description
Your apiary has a story. Fluxabee helps you understand it and use it on your next visit. Fluxabee is a beekeeping app with an AI assistant that uses your saved apiary data. It brings observations, hives, queens, tasks and measurements together. Ask about your apiary, record an inspection and see what needs attention. ASK FLUXBOT Ask in your own words about recorded observations, colonies, tasks, scale data or the weather. FluxBot helps you find information, compare data and present it in charts. Save instructions and facts in its memory for use in future conversations. You can review and edit them. Check proposed changes to your records before approving them. AI SUGGESTS WHAT TO CHECK AI uses your notes to prepare hive assessments and suggested work. See which items are urgent, important or can wait. Create tasks with due dates and receive task reminders when notifications are enabled. The assistant works from recorded observations; you assess the colony and make the decisions. SPEAK AT THE HIVE Record observations on your phone or with Fluxabee Recorder, then add the recording to the app. You can also import existing audio files. AI prepares suggested notes, tasks and hive updates. Review the report, correct details and approve what gets saved. One recording can cover several hives. SEE MORE WITH HELP FROM AI Queen detection helps locate the queen in the camera view. To count Varroa mites, take or import a photo of a hive bottom board. AI marks detected mites and suggests a count. Check the markings, correct the number if needed and save the result as a hive note. Results depend on factors such as image quality. YOUR APIARY, HISTORY AND MEASUREMENTS Keep inspection records and a history of completed work. Record your queens' origins, lines, breeders and markings. Organise hives by location. With a Fluxabee 4G hive scale, follow hive weight, ambient temperature and changes on charts, including between visits. Flux Tag NFC tags open the right hive and let you listen to information about the colony and its tasks. Check the weather forecast, mark forage sources on the map and explore seasonal analysis based on the data you enter. You can start keeping notes and inspection records with just your phone. PLANS AND ACCESS A trial is available for new accounts. Continued record keeping and AI use require an appropriate paid Basic or Pro plan. The Scale plan provides hive scale access. Features, limits and AI token allowances depend on your plan; additional tokens are available as in-app purchases. Prices and terms are shown before purchase.

Hivee is beekeeping, beautifully organized. Most hive-tracking apps feel like spreadsheets. Hivee feels like walking your bee yard with a master beekeeper at your side — warm, simple, and built for real hands in real gloves. YOUR APIARY AT A GLANCE Open Hivee and see everything that matters: every hive, its health, today's weather at your yard, and exactly what needs doing. No digging through menus. One warm home screen. LOG AN INSPECTION IN UNDER A MINUTE Big, gloves-friendly controls walk you through queen sightings, brood pattern, pests, temperament, and stores. Snap photos of frames as you go. It works with zero cell signal at the apiary and syncs when you're back in range. ASK HIVEE — YOUR AI MASTER BEEKEEPER Stumped by a spotty brood pattern? Wondering when to add a super?

KNOW EVERY HIVE'S HEALTH AT A GLANCE Hivee turns your inspections into a living health score for each colony. Green means thriving. Amber means watch closely. Red means open that hive today — before a small problem becomes a lost colony. THE RIGHT TASK ON THE RIGHT DAY Weather-smart reminders tell you when conditions are right to open a hive — and gentle nudges make sure no colony goes too long between inspections. Your daily to-do list keeps the whole apiary on schedule. WATCH YOUR COLONIES TREND Insights charts show how each hive is trending across the season, so you spot trouble weeks early and learn what's actually working in your yard. EVERY FRAME, REMEMBERED Your inspection photos are organized by hive and date, compressed smartly, and backed up automatically to the cloud. Your beekeeping history is safe — even if your phone isn't.
