HivePulse turns every beekeeper into a citizen scientist. Log inspections, track hive health, and contribute to global data that helps researchers understand and protect honey bee populations worldwide.
Real-time numbers from our global network of beekeepers
From first-time hobbyist to commercial operation, HivePulse grows with you β and your data grows with the planet.
Stick a QR code on each hive. Scan it on arrival and jump straight into your inspection β no searching, no typos, no forgotten hive names.
Track brood frames, varroa counts, queen status, honey stores, and hive mood over time. Spot trends before they become problems.
Your anonymized data contributes to a global picture of hive health β shared with researchers studying colony collapse and disease spread.
Visualize varroa counts across seasons, compare hive health across your apiary, and follow your colony's development in beautiful charts.
Generate batches of up to 50 QR codes and download a print-ready PDF β perfect for labelling a new apiary or replacing lost tags.
Precise locations and personal notes stay private. Only anonymized aggregates are shared β you control what's visible on the public map.
Honey bees and wild pollinators fertilize roughly 35 % of the world's food supply β fruits, vegetables, nuts, and oils. But populations have been declining for decades, and science is still scrambling to understand exactly why.
When you log an inspection in HivePulse, you're not just managing your hive β you're adding a data point to a global early-warning network for bee health.
A single beekeeper sees one apiary. Together, we see the world β and we can do something about it.
Identify geographic clusters of varroa infestation or disease outbreaks before they spread, enabling targeted beekeeper intervention across regions.
Cross-reference hive health with weather patterns, bloom calendars, and local land-use to pinpoint what's driving colony losses in each area.
Our anonymized dataset is shared with university researchers and conservation NGOs, contributing to peer-reviewed science on pollinator health.
Hard data from thousands of apiaries gives beekeepers a powerful evidence-based voice in conversations about pesticide regulation and habitat protection.
We're honest about what's shipped and what's planned. Here's where we're heading.
Push notifications when a hive is overdue for inspection.
Download your complete inspection history as CSV or JSON β now live in the web dashboard.
Define your own inspection fields and have them appear in every inspection form β now live in the web dashboard.

HivePulse is free to use. A small contribution keeps the servers running, funds new features, and supports our research partnerships. No beekeeper should be priced out.
Every contribution, no matter the size, helps keep HivePulse independent, ad-free, and free for beekeepers who need it most.
Explore apiaries registered by beekeepers around the world β updated in real time.
