Bee Community

A beekeeper's logbook, field guide, and neighbors, in one app.

Bee Community is a mobile app for hobbyist and sideline beekeepers. It keeps a logbook for every hive, tells you what each hive needs next, walks you through common in-field problems, and connects you with other beekeepers in your region.

A multi-hive logbook with inspections, treatments, harvests, feedings, queen events and heft checks — glove-friendly quick log, private photos, and it works offline in the bee yard
Alerts and optional reminders built from your own records and your region's season: treatment removal dates, mite checks, queen follow-ups, winter stores, registration renewals
A mite-wash calculator with the Honey Bee Health Coalition's current thresholds, a mite trend chart, and a treatment picker driven by EPA product labels
Inspection and treatment weather for each yard, from an approximate location only (United States for now — more regions coming)
An illustrated field guide, equipment guide and treatment-product reference, with every source credited
Optional map pins for each hive, private to your account; CSV and PDF exports of everything
A branching troubleshooting tree for problems like robbing, queenlessness, and mites
A community feed and network: what's blooming, swarm alerts, area alerts (bears, spraying, robbing, theft, confirmed disease, smoke, flooding), mentors, clubs
Optional nearby alerts sent to your phone when a swarm or area alert lands within the distance you choose of your hive pins — worked out inside the database, so your pins never leave it; the swarm, area-alert and bloom lists are scoped the same way, to your hive pins or an optional rough home point

Free to use, with no ads. Every logbook feature, the field guide, weather, alerts and community are free for up to two active hives and 100 MB of photo storage; an optional Premium subscription raises that to 30 hives and 2 GB and adds extra tools like honey tracking, the week plan, the winter ledger, apiary books and the mite benchmark near you, and an optional Commercial subscription allows up to 1,000 hives and 10 GB of photo storage plus yard sampling and work orders for larger operations. Need more than 1,000? Email support@mybeecommunity.com. Bee Community is available for Android on Google Play. Questions or support: support@mybeecommunity.com.
