The beekeeping journal I spent years looking for

“For more than ten years I kept my hive notes on paper and looked for an app that could handle real beekeeping. I never found one – so BeeNotes was born.”

Start recording

By voice or a few taps. Queen, brood, strength, feeding, treatment.

A day at the apiary

From planning at home to the last hive.

This is beekeeping with BeeNotes.

Know what awaits you.

Before you leave, open the apiary and see warnings, queen problems and tasks from last time. You know what to bring.

Tap and dictate.

At the hive, say the code and what you see. The app fills in the inspection – honey-covered fingers are no problem.

Or a few taps.

Queen, eggs, brood, strength, swarming, notes and a task for next time – all on one screen.

Treat and feed them all at once.

One record for the whole apiary or selected hives. Sugar is calculated for you. Or record it hive by hive.
