Built by a beekeeper, for beekeepers.

Why Bee Manager exists

Every beekeeper starts with a notebook. The notebook gets soggy in the rain. Pages tear. The pen runs out halfway through Hive 4. Six weeks later you cannot remember which colony you treated, when the queen was replaced, or whether that varroa count was actually trending up.

The software alternatives were either spreadsheet kits sold on Etsy or commercial platforms built for almond pollinators with 5,000 hives. Nothing fit a hobbyist or sideliner who just wanted to walk into the apiary, tap through an inspection in five minutes, and have it remembered properly.

So one Sunday after losing two colonies that probably should have been treated, the decision was made to build the tool that should have existed. Bee Manager is that tool. Mobile-first. Offline. Fast. Honest about what it does and does not know.

Who builds it

What we believe

• Your data is yours.

  Export it any time, in formats you can actually open. No lock-in, no walled garden.

• Offline-first is non-negotiable.

  The apiary is the worst place for a flaky 4G signal. The app has to work anyway.

• We do not add features that do not help you keep bees alive.

  If a feature does not earn its place in your inspection day, it does not ship.

• Honest pricing or no pricing.

  One annual price. One lifetime price. No upsells, no add-ons, no surprise downgrades.

What is next on the roadmap

• Treatment library with regional dosing references and withdrawal timers.
• Weather alerts that nudge you when conditions are right (or wrong) for an inspection.
• Club mode for clubs and associations to share apiaries between members.
• Native iOS and Android shells for camera, push notifications, and home-screen install on every device.
