Hive inspection app: a digital logbook for every colony
Paper notes get lost, wet or left in the truck. BeePulse keeps a searchable inspection history for every hive on your phone — queen, brood, stores, treatments and harvests — and it works offline in the apiary.
Free to start · No card · Android, iOS & web
Quick-Log for the apiary, the full form for the desk
Quick-Log is built for the apiary: five taps through queen, brood, stores, temperament and problems, and you are done in under 30 seconds. It calculates a health score from 0 to 100 and flags the hives that need a closer look.
The full inspection form is for when you want detail. Choose the inspection type — routine, treatment, feeding, harvest, queen check, problem or note — set the date and fill in only the sections you need.
What you can record
Queen: seen, laying, queen cells (supersedure or swarm) and marking. Brood: eggs, larvae, capped brood, brood pattern and how many frames carry brood. A solid brood pattern with eggs, larvae and capped brood on several frames points to a healthy, productive queen.
Attach standalone notes to a hive or an apiary from the To Do page — “order new frames”, “check hive 3 next week” — and keep follow-ups on days with good weather.
- Queen and brood status on every inspection
- Standalone notes and follow-ups
- Photos on inspections and on each hive with Pro
- Treatments and varroa counts with Pro
- Harvest logging with Pro: honey, wax, propolis and frames
Start every visit at the hive with a QR code
Print a QR code for each hive from hive management, stick it on the hive and scan it to open that hive’s Quick-Log instantly. No searching through lists with gloves on, and no mixing up hive numbers.
See what you observed next to what the scale recorded
If you connect a smart scale, the inspection timeline overlays your inspections on the weight and temperature charts. It is especially useful for correlating weight drops with swarming events, or weight gains with the nectar flows you noted.
Free to start
The inspection logbook is part of the free Start plan, together with weather forecasts and the mobile app. Pro adds photos, treatment and harvest tracking, CSV export and a longer history. Every new account begins with 15 days of Pro.
Frequently asked questions
Answers about the platform, pricing and the optional smart scales.
Does it work offline in the apiary?
- Yes. The mobile app has full offline support, so you can log inspections, use Quick-Log and scan hive QR codes without a signal; your data syncs when you are back online.
What is free, and what is in Pro?
- The Start plan is free forever and includes up to 3 apiaries and 20 hives, the inspection logbook, weather forecasts and the mobile app. Pro costs €60/year + VAT, removes those limits and adds photo attachments, treatment and harvest tracking, CSV export, unlimited alert rules and longer history.
Can I export my data?
- Yes. Pro includes CSV export, and charts can be exported as images (PNG) to share reports and keep records.
How long is my data kept?
- The Start plan keeps data for 1 year and Pro for 5 years. Historical charts cover the last 30 days on Start and are unlimited on Pro.
