Lost the queen.
Knew I’d marked her green in spring. Couldn’t remember which hive. Spent an hour pulling frames in the wrong colony. Found her later, exhausted on hot ground. She didn’t make it.

Hive 7 · Apiary North · 09:41
01
Open the hive
Tap once. The clock starts.
Walking up to Hive 7, you tap its tile. Bee Manager logs the time, weather from your GPS, and pre-fills the queen line you marked in spring.
Queen detected · 96% confidence
02
Snap a frame
A camera, a model, a confidence.
Hold the frame up. Snap. The on-device model circles likely queens in <400ms with confidence scores. Confirm or override with one tap.
Varroa trend: +0.4 mites/wk · approaching threshold
03
Count varroa
Three mites in a hundred. Now you know.
Drop in your wash count. The trend chart updates against the 3-mite threshold. Slope-based alerts so you treat early, not late.
Apivar · withdrawal until 2026-08-12
04
Log treatment
Withdrawal date set itself.
Tap a treatment from the list. Bee Manager computes the withdrawal date and blocks any harvest before it. No more dumped supers.

Biosecurity-ready in two seconds.
One tap to a compliance PDF. Notifiable disease flags, queen lineage, treatment history — formatted exactly the way your inspector expects.
Why this exists
The Sundays that broke the notebook.
Three real moments from twelve years on paper. Bee Manager exists because every one of them was preventable.
03 MAR 2025
Treated too late.
Worst varroa wash I’d seen. Checked the notebook for the last count. Page was the colour of weak tea. Six weeks of trend, gone to a leaky lid.
24 JUL 2025
Harvested a treated super.
Apivar withdrawal date was on a yellow sticky note in the shed. Extracted forty kilos before I found it. Threw the lot. Two days’ work and a year of trust.
The toolkit
Every signal from every hive, in one place.
AI queen detection
Snap a frame photo. The on-device model circles likely queens in <400ms with confidence scores. Marked or unmarked, it learns both.
Varroa trend engine
Wash counts charted against the 3-mite threshold. Slope-based alerts so you treat early, not late.
Withdrawal enforcer
Treatment logged → withdrawal date computed → harvest blocked until safe. No more dumped supers.
Offline-first writes
Every input persists to IndexedDB before the network. No spinner, no lost rows, syncs idempotently.
Compliance PDF
One tap exports a biosecurity-ready inspection report. Notifiable flags, lineage, treatment history.
Multi-apiary status
Live grid of all your hives across all your sites. Colour-coded by health, sortable by what needs you next.

From a beekeeper, not a startup
I built this between hive 4 and hive 5.
I’m Daniel. Twelve years of beekeeping, a 21-year fire protection engineering career, and one too many soggy notebooks. Bee Manager is what I wished existed every Sunday morning at the apiary. It works in the field, survives the rain, and remembers what I forget by Tuesday.
If something on this page is wrong, I will read your email personally and fix it.

Beekeepers are switching
From hobbyists to commercial yards.
Found my queen in 3 seconds. The first inspection log I’ve ever actually finished.
The varroa chart caught a spike I would have missed. Treated early, kept the colony.
No signal at my apiary. Doesn’t matter. I just log and it syncs in the ute on the way home.

Common questions
The things people ask first.
Does it work without internet?+
Yes. Every inspection, hive note, varroa count, and photo is captured locally first. When your phone reconnects, Bee Manager syncs in the background. No lost data, no retyping.
Can I export my data?+
Always. Export a full inspection PDF for biosecurity reporting, or pull the raw data anytime. Your records belong to you.
How does the AI queen detection work?+
Snap a clear photo of a frame during your inspection. A trained model scans the image and highlights likely queens. You confirm or override. It learns the patterns of marked and unmarked queens.
What happens if I cancel?+
Your data stays exportable for 90 days. No lock-in. Lifetime members keep access forever, even if Bee Manager changes hands.
Take command of your apiary.
14-day trial. No card. Lifetime access for $99 — once, yours forever.
