What is APiLOG?

APiLOG is a digital hive management software designed specifically for modern beekeepers. Whether you're managing a single backyard hive or running a small apiary, APiLOG helps you stay organized, monitor hive health over time, and make informed decisions.

With APiLOG, you can:

  • Log inspections: Record or upload your spoken notes on hive status, brood health, queen sightings, pest conditions, honey stores, and more.
  • Track treatments: Stay compliant and on schedule by logging any varroa treatments or feedings.
  • Manage queen lineage: Keep tabs on genetics, performance, and requeening history.
  • Use voice-to-text: Quickly speak your inspection findings and let APiLOG transcribe them on the fly.
  • Access hives with QR codes or NFC tags: Scan at the hive to instantly pull up its digital logbook in the field.
  • Weather & Pollen Data: Get live weather forecasts, historical trends, and pollen counts for each hive location to optimize inspections and feedings.
  • Team Collaboration: Invite collaborators with role-based permissions and see who logged each inspection, note, or update.
  • Seasonal Planning: Plan inspections, feedings, treatments, and harvests with intelligent templates and reminders.
  • Smart Data Extraction: Record voice, text, or video inspection notes and have key data automatically transcribed and organized.
  • AI Beekeeper Assistant: Receive personalized suggestions and task recommendations based on your hive’s real data and history.

Can I export my hive data?

Yes. You own your data and can export it at any time. Just go to your account settings and choose the export option or contact support@apilog.app.

Is my data private?

Absolutely. Your data is never sold or shared. We use HTTPS encryption, and only collect minimal information needed to deliver and improve the service.

How does the QR code and NFC feature work?

A QR code is auto-generated for each hive. This can be printed and attached to the hive. When scanned, it navigates directly to that hive’s view page.

NFC (Near Field Communication) Tags work similarly. They can be programmed with a hive ID and attached to the hive body. Once within range of your device, a prompt will ask if you’d like to view the content. Selecting “yes” will pull up the hive data.

QR codes and NFC tags are private — only authenticated users can see the data they lead to.

What do I do if I forget my password?

Just click “Forgot password?” on the login screen and follow the reset instructions sent to your email.

How do I cancel my subscription?

You can cancel anytime via your account dashboard. All payments are processed by Stripe. Refunds depend on usage and are subject to Stripe’s policy or simply contact support@apilog.app.
