Revolutionizing Beekeeping with ApiTrace
Beekeeper: Hive Management App
With the Beekeeper: Hive Management App, beekeepers receive efficient swarm alerts, track hive activity, and contribute to vital environmental data. This user-friendly app streamlines beekeeping, ensuring efficient hive management and environmental stewardship. Join us in transforming beekeeping practices today.
Step 01
How beekeeper works
As a beekeeper who is a registered swarm collector, you will get swarm alerts if you select this as an option when you are awarded your Beekeeper account.
- To be awarded a Beekeeper account, please contact us.
- Once awarded your beekeeper account you will receive: QR coded hive labels to mark your hives
Scan these QR codes to record all activity with that individual hive on your ApiTrace app.
Step 02
This allows you to effectively store all information about that individual hive and the quality and quantity of honey, whilst contributing to critical environmental data to support the honey value chain.
Step 03
This account with your membership fee will allow you to access all the benefits of our honey processing hubs:
- Continued education
- Business support
- Honey processing equipment and testing
- Fair price for your honey

Hive Identification Discs (HID)
The HID use a Quick Response (QR) 2-dimensional bar code to individually label any hive. The Api-Trace app contains an embedded QR code reader that allows a smartphone to identify each labelled hive. The QR codes are printed on weather resistant labels which have marine grade glue. The QR Code labels can be stuck directly onto untreated hives or onto a HID which is screwed to the hive. The QR code should be attached to the front or the back of the brood box and there is no necessity to remove it.
The Api-Trace app will only identify the User’s own HID. If a hive registered to another Api-Trace beekeeper is scanned, the app will report an error. When the app reads the hive’s QR code, it either creates a new hive record in the apiary or allows existing colony details to be updated or viewed such as ‘To-Do’ lists and previous inspection data. 6 hive label QR codes are printed per sheet.
