Hive management
Every hive. Every detail.
Guided inspections, forage intelligence, IoT sensors, PHI countdown, apiary mapping, and climate-zone-aware seasonal prep — all in one place so you can spend less time on paperwork and more time with your bees.
Live forage data
Know when the flow is on — before you open a hive
HiveMasterPro delivers precise, hyper-local honeybee forage intelligence by fusing multiple powerful data streams:
- Ground-truthed citizen-science observations from iNaturalist
- Daily high-resolution satellite imagery and vegetation indices from Planet Agriculture
- Near real-time Earth observation products from NASA LANCE
- Temperature records from NOAA NCEI Climate Data Online (GHCN-Daily) for traditional Growing Degree Day (GDD) calculations
It cross-references all four sources against your exact apiary location, local season, and weather to tell you exactly what's blooming, how strong the nectar and pollen flow is right now, and how it compares to temperature-driven expectations.
- Flow status — active, building, declining, or dearth
- Nectar & Pollen Index — relative availability in your foraging radius (enhanced by satellite NDVI/phenology signals, observation density, and vegetation health)
- Top flowering species — ranked by iNaturalist observation density, nectar/pollen value, and satellite bloom progression
- GDD Baseline — accumulated Growing Degree Days (custom base temperature) from NOAA station data, with comparison to 30-year normals, to show how heat accumulation aligns with actual bloom signals
- 3-day outlook — projected flow direction based on weather trends, bloom phase, satellite indicators, and forward GDD accumulation
- Confidence rating — transparent multi-source reliability score so you always know how solid the signal is
Data sources: iNaturalist (CC-BY-NC), Planet high-resolution daily satellite monitoring, NASA LANCE near real-time vegetation products, NOAA NCEI GHCN-Daily temperature records, and Open-Meteo weather. Not a substitute for your own field observations, scale-hive monitoring, or local beekeeping knowledge.

What to do now
AI-driven suggestions
- Hive #7 — Varroa count overdue (last: 18 days ago)
- Hive #12 — PHI ends in 3 days — schedule honey super check
- North Field — add entrance reducers before cold snap Thursday
- Reorder Apivar strips — 4 remaining in inventory

Guided inspections
Four steps. Every detail captured.
The guided inspection walks you through a structured 4-step flow so nothing gets missed — even on your busiest yard days. Or skip the form entirely and launch hands-free voice mode to walk through the inspection by talking.
Date & weather
Auto-fetch weather from your apiary location or enter manually for offline visits. Start from a saved template or the default 4-step flow.
Brood & queen
Queen seen, eggs, larvae, capped brood pattern — checkboxes and dropdowns so you log findings in seconds.
Varroa & pests
Built-in alcohol wash calculator with threshold bar, AI-powered risk prediction, frame photo analysis, and pest observation chips.
Stores, notes & photos
Honey and pollen levels, temperament, voice notes, and up to 8 inspection photos with optional AI analysis.
Need speed? Quick Inspection captures queen, mites, stores, brood pattern, and notes on a single screen with large gloved-hand targets — ideal for walking a 50+ hive yard.
Food safety & IPM
Know exactly when your honey is safe
Log a treatment and HiveMasterPro starts a PHI countdown automatically. No spreadsheets, no guessing — just a clear, real-time timer that tells you when honey supers can go back on.
- Automatic PHI timer for every registered treatment product
- Pre-treatment & post-treatment Varroa comparison with efficacy %
- Treatment rotation tracking — warns before repeating the same chemical class
- Integrated Pest Management log with cultural, mechanical, and chemical options
- Full treatment history timeline per hive — exportable for compliance

Rotation warning
Apivar (amitraz) used 2 consecutive seasons. Consider oxalic acid or formic acid next cycle to reduce resistance risk.
Weather & field prep
Know the conditions before you suit up
Weather, bloom predictions, and pre-visit preparation tools so every trip to the yard is productive.
Weather integration
Real-time weather conditions for each apiary — temperature, wind, humidity, and precipitation forecasts pulled from Open-Meteo so you know whether it's an inspection day or a desk day.
Bloom & crop calendar
A region-aware bloom timeline showing which nectar and pollen sources are expected to peak each month — combined with forage data to help plan splits, supers, and feeding schedules.

Visual management
Apiary mapping & hive grouping
Pin every apiary on a real map, group hives by yard, and plan your route before you leave the house.
Apiary pins and optimal route in the app — same style on the map
QR codes & NFC tags
Generate and print QR labels for every hive — built-in label designer with border styles, logo embedding, and printer presets (Avery 5160, Dymo, Brother QL). Scan on arrival via QR camera or NFC tap to instantly pull up the hive's full history. Export scan analytics as CSV.
Route optimization & PDF exports
Running 3+ yards? The app calculates the shortest driving route across your apiaries so you can fit more inspections into fewer miles. Export per-apiary PDF reports for landlord documentation, regulatory filing, or internal records.
Apiary points of interest
Mark water sources, bear fences, access gates, and landmarks on your apiary. POIs display on the apiary detail screen so any team member knows the yard layout before arrival.
Pre-visit equipment checklist
Configure a per-apiary equipment checklist — smoker, hive tool, frames, feed, protective gear. Check items off before leaving for the yard so nothing gets forgotten.
