Overview
What is Hivey?
Hivey is a beekeeping journal for iPhone and iPad, designed to turn every hive visit into part of your colony’s story. Its glove-friendly controls, photo and voice notes, and offline design make it easy to record what you see in the field, whether you keep two hives or run several apiaries.
Beyond visit logging, Hivey follows your beekeeping year with a seasonal calendar, keeps a close eye on varroa levels, tracks queen genealogy, and gives you a clear picture of your production and finances, all backed by exports you can keep or share as records.

In depth
Hivey, in detail
How does Hivey help you log a hive visit?
Hivey uses big, glove-friendly controls so you can record queen, brood, stores, temperament and frame counts without taking your gloves off. You can snap photos or dictate notes hands-free while you are still at the hive, and see queen, eggs, queen cells and swarm risk at a glance on each hive’s record.
Each visit becomes part of that hive’s ongoing history, so you can look back at past inspections instead of relying on memory or a paper notebook.
How does Hivey help you monitor varroa levels?
You can record counts using alcohol wash, sugar shake, sticky board and other methods, then set alert thresholds so Hivey notifies you when a colony goes over your limit.
Treatments are logged in a tidy register with dose, method, batch number and honey-withdrawal dates, alongside a 5-year medicines register built for real record-keeping.
What does Hivey Pro unlock?
Hivey Pro unlocks unlimited colonies, the seasonal x climate calendar, the varroa and treatments register, queen genealogy, iCloud sync, exports and apiary sharing. You can try Pro free for 7 days on the annual plan.
Nothing you enter into Hivey is ever locked behind a paywall, whether or not you choose Pro.
