Bloom intelligence, hive tracking, queen rearing, team sync, and migration planning — everything a commercial operation needs, in one app.
Free for up to 10 hives. No credit card required. See all plans.
A quick look at what BroodNote can do for your operation.
Log everything without taking your gloves off. Voice dictation, quick-tap inputs, and smart defaults get inspections done fast — even when you're covered in bees.
The Bloom Intelligence Map shows live nectar flow data for every county in the US. Plan moves, predict harvests, and know exactly what your bees are foraging on.
Track every graft batch from cell bar to introduction. Individual queen IDs, acceptance rates, emergence alerts, and a full registry across your whole operation.
Share an 8-character code and your team is connected. Every inspection, note, and update syncs to everyone in real time — no email threads, no spreadsheets.
The Honey Typing Engine analyzes bloom windows and your yard's location to predict floral composition — down to the percentage of each source, and whether you qualify for a premium monofloral label.
The Migration Planner combines bloom timing, your hive inventory, and truck capacity to help you plan moves that maximize honey production and meet pollination contracts.
From a single backyard hive to a 500-hive commercial operation, BroodNote scales with you.
Works on any modern phone or tablet. PWA — install from your browser, no app store required.
Most beekeeping apps are glorified note-taking tools. BroodNote is built for operations that need to manage data, teams, and movement — not just journals.
