Hive Foreman: Beekeeping Logs

Running several hives can leave scattered notes and unanswered questions. Hive Foreman keeps each colony, visit and follow-up in one clear record, so you know what changed, what comes next and arrive prepared. Know what needs attention Today brings together overdue work, jobs due soon and this week's hive checks. Each visit starts with a clear view of what needs attention, without important jobs disappearing among old notes. Record useful detail Use a Quick observation for a brief update or a Full inspection for a thorough check. Record colony strength, queen details, brood, temperament, swarm risk, varroa observations, feeding and treatments. Unchecked items stay marked as unknown, so a blank never looks like a confirmed result. Saved layouts restore the sections you normally use. Add photos when a visual reference will help later, or speak an editable draft and review it before saving. Turn findings into next steps Create a follow-up task from a hive check while the reason is fresh. Add a due date and optional reminder, then complete, skip or reschedule the work without losing its history. Repeating work keeps missed dates together on one record instead of filling your list with duplicates. Archiving a hive or apiary pauses its repeating work while preserving its records. Follow each colony's history Queen changes, feeding, treatments, mite observations and hive activities stay with the correct colony. Dated moves, splits and merges link that history clearly, so older inspections do not appear under the wrong hive. Separate hive yields from pooled apiary harvests to understand where honey came from and review useful totals. Reduce repeated admin Apply the same task, feeding record or reviewed setup to several hives in one batch. Track equipment locations, stock and maintenance needs, so you know what to take before a visit. Printable QR labels open the correct hive record quickly, with manual lookup when scanning is not practical. Flower and weather notes add local context to each apiary without relying on an outside data service. Keep a useful business record Use the optional cashbook to record sales, expenses and refunds. Currencies stay separate and corrections remain visible, helping you review money in and out without turning Hive Foreman into an accounting or tax system. Find answers later Search apiaries and hives when you need one record quickly. The timeline places inspections, tasks, queen changes, harvests, yard notes, equipment and cashbook entries in date order. On iPad, the wider layout keeps related records visible together. An unfinished form survives window resizing, so you do not have to start again. Share only useful details Choose the hives and sections for an apiary summary or detailed report, then preview it before sharing. Add optional business details and a logo for a client, mentor or formal record. Reports and spreadsheets include only the information you select. A complete backup protects all records.

Optional Private iCloud keeps saved changes up to date across your Apple devices through your Apple Account, reducing repeated entry when you use more than one device. Start with the free tier.
