About Apiary Tools
Free tools built by beekeepers, for beekeepers.
The Story
Apiary Tools started in 2024 as a simple idea: beekeeping involves a lot of timing and mental math that shouldn't require flipping through books or counting on your fingers.
Whether you're calculating when to check for queen cells after a split, figuring out how much syrup to make, or tracking inspections across multiple hives, I wanted to make it simple.
What began as a few calculators has grown into a suite of tools including hive management, inspection tracking, honey labeling, and more.
Who I Am
I'm a beekeeper who knows a little code. I manage a few hives and I've run into all the usual challenges. I wanted one place for the tools I actually use.
Based in the USA
What I Believe
Accuracy Matters
Timelines are based on established research. I show realistic windows, not false precision.
Educational
Every tool explains the why, not just the what. I want to help you understand beekeeping better, not just give you answers.
Simple is Better
I focus on clarity and usability. These tools are designed to work in the bee yard on your phone.
Free for All
I believe beekeeping is important for our world. That's why these tools are free, everyone should have access.
Support the Project
Apiary Tools is free and always will be as long as I can afford to keep it running. If you find these tools useful and want to help keep them running, consider buying me a coffee!
