Bee Hunter - Bee lining tool

Bee Lining & Wild Hive Finder

Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Download USGS topo & satellite maps for your area before you leave — Bee Hunter works fully offline where the wild hives are. Time flights, follow the beeline. Bee lining is the old woodsman's art of finding wild honeybee colonies: catch a bee at a feeding station, time how long it takes to fly home and back, note its direction — and follow the beeline to the bee tree. Bee Hunter puts that whole craft on your phone. AT THE STATION • Set up a bee line station at your exact GPS position • Mark your bees by color and time each flight with a one-tap stopwatch • Capture flight direction with the built-in compass — confirm before you record • Every flight refines the estimate: directions are averaged, outliers get diluted ON THE MAP • Each bee draws a line on the map — color-matched, pointing where it flew, sized by flight time (2–3 minutes ≈ within 100 m, 10 minutes ≈ a mile) • Where the lines converge, that's your bee tree • Mark found trees, log revisits over the years, and mark the disappointments too ("oh no, it's someone's hive") • Navigate off-trail with a straight-line bearing from your position to any tree BUILT FOR THE BACKCOUNTRY • Download USGS Topo and Satellite maps for your planned area before you leave — by visible map area or by GPS coordinates and radius • Everything works with zero cell service: recording, maps, navigation • Export waypoints as GPX/KML for your Garmin or other GPS apps YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS • No accounts, no servers, no ads, no tracking — everything lives in your own private iCloud • Share individual stations or trees with people you choose, read-only, via Apple's iCloud sharing • Nothing is ever public Whether you're reviving a family tradition or discovering bee lining for the first time, Bee Hunter is the field notebook, stopwatch, compass, and map — all in your pocket.
