BeeTracker

Work out adult bees emergence

$0.99 · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Tracks the stages of development of the honeybee worker, drone, and queen from the given egg-laying date, which the user can set Enables precise hive management: Knowing exactly when brood reaches key stages (egg → larva → capped → emergence) helps with swarm prevention, requeening, and colony health checks. Helps with queen rearing: Timing is critical. An app could notify when to move queen cells, when virgins should emerge, and when to expect mating flights. Aids disease control: Brood cycle knowledge helps detect issues like brood breaks, chalkbrood, or varroa infestation timing. Provides beginner education: New beekeepers often struggle to remember the differences between the timelines of worker, drone, and queen bees. A visual timeline would be a great teaching tool. Helps with record-keeping: Logging “egg laid (or seen)” dates per hive could give reminders like “expected worker emergence on X date.” Honey Bee Development Timelines (approx.) - Worker: 21 days (3 egg, 6 larva, 12 pupa) - Drone: 24 days (3 egg, 6.5 larva, 14.5 pupa) - Queen: 16 days (3 egg, 5 larva, 8 pupa) Benefits: - Queen rearers (precision timing is everything). - Hobby beekeepers (reminders of when to check hives). - Clubs/mentors (as a teaching resource). - Commercial operations (batch rearing, swarm control planning).
