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.

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? Ask Hivee gives you clear, experienced answers — and it knows your hives, your weather, and your season, so the advice fits YOUR bee yard, not a textbook. Free questions included every month. 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. BUILT FOR THE BEE YARD - Works fully offline — sync happens automatically later - Big touch targets that work through nitrile gloves - Warm, calm design that's a pleasure to open - Gorgeous in dark mode - Sign in with Apple — no passwords to remember BECOME A FOUNDING BEEKEEPER The first 100 beekeepers to join Hivee earn a numbered Founder badge on their profile — permanently. When you spot the crown, you're looking at one of the originals. Whether you're on your first nuc or your fortieth colony, Hivee helps you keep bees with more confidence and less chaos. Your bees deserve better than a spreadsheet. — Questions or ideas? We read everything: hivee@amplifygo.io Privacy: https://hivee-ead6f.web.app/privacy.html
