HiveSnap is the fastest way to log and track your beehives โ€” whether you manage one hive or a full apiary. Offline ready! After each inspection, open HiveSnap, tap your hive, and capture everything in seconds: colony strength, brood and honey boxes, queen status, swarm cells, and more. Scan your inspection card with the camera if you have one for hands-free logging, or use voice notes to dictate observations on the fly. HIVE OVERVIEW See all your hives at a glance โ€” queen age, honey boxes, and last inspection date right on the home screen. QUICK INSPECTIONS Score colony strength, steadiness, defensive behaviour and feed amount. Log what you observed โ€” eggs, capped brood, queen cells โ€” and track brood and honey boxes with a tap. CARD SCANNING Point your camera at an inspection card and HiveSnap reads it automatically. VOICE NOTES Dictate your notes hands-free while working the hive. No gloves off required. PHENOLOGY Know what's blooming near you. HiveSnap shows local plant phenology so you can anticipate nectar flows and plan your inspections. WEATHER Check current conditions and a 7-day forecast right inside the app โ€” so you know if it's a good day to open the hive. MULTILINGUAL Full English and German support. HiveSnap syncs across your devices so your records are always with you โ€” in the apiary or at home. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
