Log hive inspections with big buttons. See which hive is due. No account.
Many beekeepers still carry a paper notebook to the apiary and type it into a spreadsheet later, or try an app that asks them to sign up, sync and type into small boxes with sticky gloves. Broodrow is built for the minute you stand next to an open hive: large answers, one question per row, and a Save button that is always at the bottom of the screen.
• Queen seen, not seen or not checked • Eggs seen, not seen or not checked • Frames covered with bees, with a large minus and plus stepper • Honey stores: low, OK or plenty • Temper: calm, nervous or defensive • Mite count from your own test, if you did one • Actions: fed, treated, super added, super removed, harvest, queen cells • Honey harvested in kilograms, and a short note
Most visits look like the one before. Tap "Copy last time" to fill the choices from your last inspection of that hive, then change only what is different. Mites, actions and the note stay empty so you never copy a treatment by mistake.
Give every hive its own interval, from 3 to 90 days. The home screen shows how many hives you keep, how many are due or overdue, how many inspections you logged this month and how much honey you took this year. Hives that need a visit move to the top with a clear colour: green on track, amber due soon, red overdue.
Each hive has a detail page with the latest snapshot, a chart of frames of bees and mite counts over your last twelve inspections, the honey from that hive this year, and the full history as a timeline. The log tab lists every inspection by month, and you can filter by hive or show only visits where you did something.
Turn on a reminder for a hive and Broodrow sends one notification at 9:00 on the day it is due. Reminders are optional and per hive. If you keep notifications off, the due list in the app still works.
Broodrow is a hive inspection log for hobby and backyard beekeepers. Open the hive, tap a few big buttons, close the hive. Broodrow remembers what you saw, works out when each colony is due again, and draws simple trends from your numbers. No account, no subscription, no ads.
