Beeledger is a voice-first hive-inspection app. Talk the way you'd talk to another beekeeper: one recording covers every hive you open, and Beeledger sorts it out hive by hive. No phone in sticky gloves, no spreadsheet from memory at night. No signal required.
No card up front. Android and web, iPhone coming soon.
Switch the audio to hear exactly what the phone recorded from the pocket, pocket noise included. That is the recording Beeledger extracted the inspection from.
You press record once, at the first hive. Then you work. Gloves stay on, hands stay free, and you don't touch the phone again until the row is done.
You tell it, out loud. Apiaries have names: Alpha, Bravo, Charlie. Hives have a number: 1, 2, 3. So every hive gets a short name of its own, Alpha 3, or just A3.
Write that number on the roof once, in black marker, and you're done.
No QR stickers to print and re-print when they fade. No NFC tags to buy, glue on and lose in the grass.
Alpha 3. That's the whole setup.
One 44-minute recording, read line by line. Every fact lands on the hive it belongs to, tasks get a date, and a new hive is created when you say so.
Nothing to memorise. Correct yourself, jump back to a hive, think out loud.
"Alpha 1, queen's laying, saw her. Brood on six frames, nice tight pattern. Stores look good. Alpha 2 now. Good brood pattern across five frames. Bit of chalkbrood on the edge, nothing serious. Actually no, scratch that, that's just old pollen. Stores are low so I'll feed her. I need to come back in two weeks and treat this one for varroa. And I'm splitting Alpha 1 today, three frames into a nuc, queen cells are capped on it already."
One recording. Three hives, named as you go. ↓
Alpha 1
Alpha 2
Alpha 3
Every line above traces back to something said out loud. It heard "scratch that" and dropped the chalkbrood, because it won't record a disease you didn't confirm.
Beeledger reads your own voice notes and entries and writes a short briefing for every hive, every apiary, and one for your whole operation on the app's home screen. Read it before you suit up and you know where to start.

Recording works with no bars, no data, airplane mode, a dead zone behind a hill. Everything is saved on your phone and syncs itself when you're back in range. Your bees are usually where the signal isn't.
Next time you open a hive, leave the phone in your pocket.

Running a commercial operation or a bigger team? Talk to us.
Yes, and it's the whole point. Open as many hives as you like in one take. Say which hive you're at the way you normally would, and Beeledger splits the visit into one record per hive.
Yes. Recording, photos and typing all work with no connection. Everything saves on your phone and syncs when you're back in range, and the sorting happens then.
You drop back to the free plan. Nothing is deleted and nothing is charged, because we never took a card. You keep logging inspections by hand for as long as you like, and everything you recorded during the trial stays readable, playable and exportable. Turn voice back on whenever you want it.
You don't have to invent anything. Each apiary gets a letter, each hive gets a number, and Beeledger names them for you: Alpha 1, Alpha 2, Bravo 1. It uses the phonetic alphabet on purpose, because "Alpha one" survives wind, gloves and a phone in your pocket, where "A1" gets heard as "eight one".
Then write it on the hive, however you like. A black marker on the lid does the job. Nothing to print, nothing to stick on, nothing that stops working when it rains.
It isn't sexy. It's dumb, easy to say out loud, and reliable, which is what counts when you're talking instead of looking.
No. You say the hive's name out loud. Whatever you already wrote on the box is enough.
Talk normally. Correct yourself, go back to a hive you already covered, trail off. Beeledger sorts it out, and it won't invent an observation you didn't make.
A few short lines per hive, per apiary and for your whole operation, written from your own voice notes and entries. What needs action comes first, and anything that's getting old is flagged for you to check instead of passing for news. They come with the paid plan, alongside voice and video, and they're on during the 30-day trial.
English, French and Spanish, spoken properly rather than translated labels.
Of course. Everything can be added, edited and corrected by hand, on the phone or on the web.
Yes. Export everything whenever you like, on either plan.
