Automated functionalities anticipate your needs and simplify your daily work.

Effectiveness in the apiary

Optimize your time in the field with our smart forms. With predefined choices and minimal text entry, record your interventions in seconds. Our intuitive interface guides you through each stage of your beekeeping, ensuring fast and accurate information records for each hive. Spend more time with your bees and less time on paperwork.

Optimized for mobile and tablet use

Take the app everywhere with an interface that's perfectly adapted to mobile devices. Enjoy large and ergonomic buttons for easy use, even with gloves. The accessible check boxes and the integrated QR code scanner (identified the hive) make navigation smooth in all circumstances. Whether you are on a smartphone or tablet, it can be adjusted for an optimal user experience at the apiary.

Customizing the interface

Each beekeeper has their own working methods. Customize the application according to your needs:

  • Adapt the list of interventions
  • Organize the order of hives and apiaries
  • Choose your hive models
  • Define your criteria for evaluating yourself as a queen

All your settings are saved in your account.

Optimize your precious time

Scheduling your tasks

The application helps you plan future interventions with an overview of your tasks and the expected weather.

Easily manage: treatments against Varroa (parasitic mite), routine checks, the addition of hive (elements of the hive for harvesting honey), and all your beekeeping operations.

Fast access with QR Code and Barcode

Simplify your interventions thanks to the integrated code scanner:

  • Scan the QR code of a hive to instantly access its file
  • Launch an intervention directly from the scan
  • Quickly identify hives with bar codes

This technology eliminates input errors and speeds up your field operations.

Weather forecast for accurate beekeeping

Plan your interventions on the apiary with confidence thanks to our 16-day high-resolution weather forecasts. The software provides you with data adapted to the exact GPS location of your apiaries.

Meteorological models used: AROME and ARPEGE (Météo-France), ICON/DWD (German meteorological service), GFS (NOAA) and HRRR for an accuracy of up to 2.5 km.

Anticipate the optimal conditions for your visits, honeydew periods or climate risks for informed decisions.

Generate your beekeeping register beekeeping

Say goodbye to hours spent manually compiling your data. The application helps you with the administrative management of your beekeeping by automatically generating your complete breeding register. Each intervention you record throughout the season is carefully compiled into a clear and professional document. With a simple click, get a detailed record including the history of hives, treatments applied, colony movements, and much more, which each beekeeper on your farm will have recorded in the application.

Improve your productivity

Detailed statistics

Use your data for more accurate and sustainable beekeeping. Whether you manage a few hives or hundreds, the statistics adapt to your scale.

Each visit allows you to obtain information on the health of your bees and your productivity: production by hive, evolution of colonies over time.

Crop Management

Easily record the weight of each increase. The software automatically assigns crops to the right hives and apiaries.

Analyze your performance by hive, by location or by season to identify your best producers. Use historical data to improve your harvesting strategy.

Rating of queens

Evaluating queens is easy with Beekube. Define your own assessment criteria to quickly identify the best queens on your farm. The results of these evaluations are easily accessible and exportable in Excel format (XLSX/CSV), giving you total control over the genetic selection of your hive.

Follow-up of the genealogy of queens

Control the lineage of your queens with our genealogical tracking tool:

  • View the complete family tree of each queen over several generations
  • Automatically record family relationships during artificial swarms (colony divisions) or grafting (queen rearing technique)
  • Make informed decisions for your crossovers

Maintain the genetic diversity of your herd with a comprehensive history.

Integration of connected scales

Follow the evolution of your hives in real time, for each location, thanks to the integration of your scales connected to the Beekube software.

Compatibility: Bee2Beep, Honey Instruments, Optibee and other brands via our open API for your DIY solutions (connected scale, custom weather station).

Visualize growth charts, detect periods of honeydew, or anticipate feeding needs. The software centralizes all your weight data for proactive management of your hives.

Automating tasks

Streamline your workflow with the Beekube app automation module. Define custom rules to automatically create tasks based on your interventions.

Automation examples:

  • Follow-up check 7 days after the introduction of a new queen
  • Varroa treatment planned based on count results
  • Feeding reminders depending on weather conditions

Reduce oversights and focus on the health of your bees.

The positive impact of Beekube on beekeeping and the environment

Beekube is a tool that facilitates more sustainable and responsible beekeeping practices. Here is how the service contributes to improving beekeeping practices and the preservation of the environment:

Colony health

Rigorous hive monitoring allows beekeepers to quickly detect colony health problems, thereby reducing losses and promoting more robust bee populations.

Optimization of visits

Optimized planning makes it possible to reduce the frequency of visits while improving their efficiency, thus minimizing the stress on colonies and the environmental impact of travel.

Rational management of apiaries

The data collected allows a better understanding of the interactions between hives and their environment, promoting beekeeping practices that are more in harmony with local ecosystems.

Reduction in the use of treatments

Precise monitoring of the health status of hives allows for a more targeted and therefore reduced use of treatments, beneficial both for bees and for the environment.

FAQS

Can you use your smartphone in the apiary?
Yes, it is preferable to note your interventions on the application during your check at the apiary (to avoid oversights). We recommend putting the smartphone in a waterproof pouch and using a touch pen. This prevents the smartphone from being damaged by propolis and makes it easier to use with gloves.
Can the application data be shared with other beekeepers or a veterinarian?
Yes, the application allows you to export your data in various formats (PDF, Excel) that you can easily share. You can also share limited access to certain people to collaborate on managing your hives. Thanks to digital technology, you will always have your data on your smartphone.
How can I track the honey production of each hive?
Monitoring production is essential for effective beekeeping. The application allows you to record the weight of honey harvested for each hive. It then generates production graphs, allowing you to compare the performance of your various hives, apiaries and queens, and then identify those that may require particular attention.
How does the app help manage varroa varroa treatments?
The application allows you to record treatment dates and the various counts of Varroa (mite parasitic on bees). An automatic indication based on your counts will indicate the alert level. You will be able to anticipate and add tasks to do at the key dates of your varroa treatments or counts.
Is there an offline mode?
For the moment, the Beekube application does not yet have an offline mode. But developments are planned in this direction.
What is the recommended frequency for hive visits?
The frequency of visits depends on the season and the condition of the colony. In general, a visit every 2 to 3 weeks during the active beekeeping season is recommended. The application allows you to easily plan and track your visits.
How do I know when to add a hive to my hive?
The main signs are when the bees have filled 7-8 frames of the current rise (element of the hive for harvesting honey). Very white wax can also be seen on the top of the frames. With the application, you can anticipate what equipment to take to your locations with upcoming tasks and the expected weather.
