Hive Log vs HiveLedger

Hive Log is the field journal beekeepers have always deserved — built for those who respect the craft and want to understand what their hives are telling them before swarming, supersedure, or colony failure becomes a crisis. LOG EVERY INSPECTION IN UNDER 5 MINUTES Structured inspection forms cover what matters: weather, colony demeanor, population, brood pattern, queen status, food stores, and varroa mite counts. Voice dictation keeps your gloves clean. Every inspection is permanently recorded and searchable. AI BROOD FRAME ANALYSIS Photograph a brood frame and Hive Log's on-device AI assesses pattern quality (solid, spotty, or scattered), estimates worker and drone brood ratios, flags queen cells, and delivers an expert-level reading — the kind of frame knowledge that takes years to develop. NEW: SHAREABLE BROOD REPORTS Export a beautifully annotated frame image with queen cells and brood zones marked, plus an AI-written frame report card — perfect for asking a mentor or sharing with your bee club. NEW: ICLOUD SYNC ACROSS DEVICES Log on the iPhone in the bee yard, review on the iPad in the truck. Your hives, inspections, and harvests stay in sync across all your devices via your private iCloud. NEW: SMART REMINDERS & WIDGETS Get nudged when a hive hasn't been visited, tighter reminders through swarm season, and weather-aware "good day to inspect" alerts. A home- and lock-screen widget shows today's recommended inspections, color-coded by health. NEW: AI SEASON REPORT & EXPORT Produce a polished end-of-season apiary report — per-hive health, mite history, yield, queen changes — as a PDF, plus a CSV of all your records for club reporting, taxes, or selling nucs. VARROA MITE TRACKER Log alcohol wash and sugar shake counts. Hive Log tracks mite levels over time, alerts you when counts cross the 2% treatment threshold, and surfaces seasonal treatment recommendations by method. SWARM PREDICTION Hive Log analyzes population trends, queen cell observations, and crowding from recent inspections to flag swarm risk before you've lost a swarm to the neighborhood. APIARY CALENDAR A locally accurate nectar flow timeline based on your apiary's location — bloom timing, inspection cadence, treatment windows, and harvest timing by month, with a 5-day inspection forecast. QUEEN TRACKER Record queen lineage, marking color, install date, and performance. Track the standard IBRA annual color coding. AI surfaces supersedure predictions when a queen is failing. YIELD RECORDS Log honey, wax, and propolis harvests per hive. Track multi-year yield trends and identify your most productive colonies. DESIGNED FOR BEEKEEPERS WHO KNOW THE VOCABULARY Hive Log doesn't dumb down the terminology. Supersedure, burr comb, queen excluder, varroa, sacbrood — these are your words. The app speaks your language. FREE TIER: 1 hive, 5 inspections — enough to try it on your first season.

HiveLedger keeps every colony in one place: a glove-friendly inspection checklist, queen status and age, treatments and feeding, swarm and split notes, and honey harvests that add up to a season you can actually read. Open a hive and the card tells you what you need at the box: the queen's marking colour and age from her birth year, her laying status, frames of bees and brood, temperament, and the last time you checked. Tap Inspect and a big-button checklist saves the whole visit in one tap: queen seen, eggs seen, queen cells, brood pattern, stores, space, and a mite wash counted as mites per 100 bees. HiveLedger does the math beekeepers care about. Mite washes become a per-hive trend with an action band, so you know when a colony crosses into treat territory. Splits link back to the mother hive so lineage reads parent to daughter. Harvests roll up into season totals and a per-hive ranking, and the whole yard lands on one chronological season timeline. The yard health board reads every active colony at once and surfaces what needs hands today: mites over the threshold, queen trouble, overdue inspections, and open treatment withdrawal windows, sorted by urgency.
