A Mentor
in Your Pocket.
Built by a beekeeper because nothing else fit. Everything you need to run your apiary — inspection logs, mite tracking, treatment records, smart reminders, and a reference library built on the latest HBHC guidelines — all in one place, on any device.
Know Before
You Go.
Live weather, fly score, pollen forecast, average hive health, and season-at-a-glance guidance — all on one screen. The dashboard tells you whether conditions are right for an inspection before you ever walk out the door. Zone-aware, sourwood-aware, dearth-aware.
Every Frame.
Every Visit.
Log queen status, population, brood pattern, honey stores, pest pressure, and detailed notes for every hive. Export to PDF or CSV. Compare inspections over time. 20 inspections in, you'll see your hives in a way you never could from memory alone.
Inspect With
Your Voice.
Gloves on, smoker in hand, bees flying — the last thing you want to do is type. Apiary HQ lets you dictate your inspection notes hands-free. Speak naturally while you work the hive. The app transcribes in real time using live speech recognition, then runs a Whisper AI pass on Stop for accuracy. Beekeeping-specific corrections handle terms like varroa, supercedure, and GardStar automatically.
No more waiting until you get inside to write down what you saw. No more forgotten details. Just talk — the app keeps up.
The Mentor
That Remembers.
Smart reminders that know your hives. Inspection cycles, treatment retreats with weather caveats, varroa wash windows, frame utilization warnings — automatically generated from your actual data. A real mentor doesn't let you forget the August mite check. Neither does Apiary HQ.
84 Out of 100.
Here's Why.
A true 100-point health score built on inspection recency, population, brood pattern, queen status, honey stores, and varroa levels — each weighted and explained. Trend lines across the last six inspections. And mentor tips that flag what actually matters, like high SHB pressure during summer dearth.
Built on the
Latest Science.
The built-in reference library covers pests, diseases, treatments, and management guidance — sourced from AUBEE, the HBHC 9th Edition, and Dadant. Not forum advice. Not outdated PDFs. The same resources a certified master beekeeper would hand you, searchable in the bee yard.
Your Hive Records.
Always Yours.
Your data belongs to you — not us. Every inspection, treatment, feeding, and note you log in Apiary HQ can be exported as a full hive journal at any time. PDF export gives you a print-ready record of every visit, every frame map, and every varroa wash for any hive in your apiary. You can also export to CSV for your own records. Your history goes with you.
Built to Run Your Whole Operation
Every tool you need is one level deep — powerful but never cluttered. Works offline in the bee yard and syncs when you're back in range.
