Are your notes keeping up with a growing number of hives?

HiveScribe will. It’s built for beekeepers whose memory, notebooks, or old apps can’t scale with the demands of a growing beekeeping operation. Whether you’re managing a handful of hives or entire yards, HiveScribe helps you capture what you did and saw—without slowing you down. It won’t tell you how to keep bees or what to track; it simply records your work so you can make better decisions based on clear, reliable notes.

The Problem

Managing dozens of hives across multiple apiaries is a logistical challenge. Beekeepers often rely on creative solutions like bricks, thumbtacks, scribbles on hive covers, or simple pencil and paper. Digital notes have clear advantages—they're easy to back up, share, and reference. But while most beekeepers carry a powerful little computer in their pocket, using a phone in the apiary is anything but convenient.

Gloves and a veil make it difficult to unlock and navigate apps, let alone type. Form entry can be quick in theory, but most apps can't be customized to fit your workflow. As a result, important details—like a failing queen, mite test results, or the need for another box—often get lost, forgotten, or never logged at all.

HiveScribe Offers Solutions

HiveScribe makes note-taking in the apiary low effort and field-friendly.

Voice Notes + AI Transcription

Speak your notes and HiveScribe converts them into organized, chronological text per hive. State of the art AI transcriptions are better than ever at capturing your words. Even beekeeping jargon.

Photo Capture

Quickly snap pictures of beautiful frames, brood patterns, or issues in the hive.

Custom Quick-Forms

When metrics matter (mite counts, frames of brood, etc) standard form entry is still the way to go. HiveScribe gives you fast, customized entry forms tailored to your operation.

Lock Screen Access

HiveScribe operates over the lock screen, allowing you to enter information without unlocking your phone. No fumbling with gloves to get past security screens.

Physical Button Controls

Use your volume rocker buttons to quickly trigger voice recordings or capture photos. Perfect for when touchscreen interaction is difficult with gloves.

Glove-Friendly Interface

Large, easy-to-hit buttons and high contrast design work perfectly in bright sunlight while wearing gloves. No squinting or missed taps when you're suited up.

HiveScribe helps you preserve valuable data without slowing you down—and makes it easy to flip through a summarized hive history when you need it.
