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.
