The Beekeeping App Built for Australia
Hive inspections, varroa records, treatment countdowns and harvests. Free to start, A$79 once for everything, never a subscription.
Most beekeeping apps charge US$50-80 every year and weren't built for Australian rules. Planting Season's bee module was: monthly varroa wash reminders with the Queensland Bee 123 requirement built in, state registration guidance, and native stingless bee support no other app on earth has.
What it does
- Inspection log per hive: queen seen, brood pattern, stores, pests, 30 seconds per hive, works offline at the apiary.
- Varroa monitor: alcohol wash counts with an automatic mites-per-300 percentage, trend graph, and a red flag at the 2% treatment threshold. Monthly reminders so you never miss a wash.
- Treatment tracker: product, date, and a withholding countdown so you never harvest honey early.
- Harvest log: kilos per hive, valued at your local honey price.
- Compliant records: one tap exports everything as CSV, satisfying "records in any format" requirements in every state.
- Stingless mode: OATH hives get split/eduction logs, sugarbag harvests, and automatic heat alerts (colonies die above 42°C) from Bureau of Meteorology forecasts.
- Plus the rest: the full Planting Season garden planner, chickens module, and pest guides come with it.
What it costs
Free to start. Pro unlocks the bee, chicken and homestead modules for A$79 once, forever, or $29.95/year. The market-leading US beekeeping app charges US$79.99 every single year for bees alone.
Your hives, on the record
No app store needed, it installs from the browser and works offline.
