Close the hive. Hit record. Move on.

Say what you saw, what you did, what you're thinking about doing next. Say it the way you'd say it to another beekeeper. Maybe grab a photo while you're at it. Rate the brood pattern 1 through 5, or just describe it. Just get it down.

HiveScribe turns messy, unstructured notes into something you can come back to next week, next month, next year...

You already have a system

Every beekeeper develops their own way of tracking what matters. HiveScribe works with the methods beekeepers are already using, not against them.

🧱 Bricks on lids
📌 Thumbtacks
🖊️ Sharpie on hive covers
📷 Quick photos
📓 Notebooks
✏️ Scribbled shorthand

HiveScribe digitizes these same processes: Voice notes replace handwriting, photos capture what you see or wrote, and simple hive markers (we call them field cues) work like your rotated bricks, thumbtacks, or markings. The difference? Digital records can be backed up, shared with partners, and reviewed on your phone or computer anywhere.

What HiveScribe actually organizes

HiveScribe uses a minimal organizational structure: queens in hives, hives in apiaries. This simple framework gives context to everything you capture, and notes are automatically connected to the right apiary, hive, or even specific queen. We're building queen tracking that most apps completely miss.

What you capture

  • 🎤 Voice notes
  • 📷 Quick photos
  • 🏷️ Simple markers
→

What you get back

  • 📋 Timeline per hive/apiary
  • 📝 Concise summaries
  • 🔍 Context when you need it

You own your data

HiveScribe is creating tools and workflows to get information out of your head and where you want it. Your beekeeping records belong to you.

Who it's for (and not for)

✅ Perfect for

  • Those with multiple hives in multiple yards
  • Sideliners, queen breeders, and those who like to experiment
  • Any beekeeper whose memory isn't getting any better.

❌ Not for

  • Migratory commercial workflows
  • "Teach me how to inspect" beginners
  • Form-lovers (at least not yet)

Alpha as collaboration

We're recruiting the right kind of early adopter. This is about building something together.

What we're asking

  • Try it on 3 visits to your apiary
  • Send feedback & report bugs
  • Be patient with rough edges

What you get

  • Direct influence on features
  • Early access to everything
  • Shape what beekeeping apps can be

Expect a little chaos — it's still in alpha.
