Ruche: Beekeeper's Inspection

From the hive. For the hive.

$3.99 · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Every beehive has a story. Ruche helps beekeepers record it. Log full and partial inspections hands-free, tracking treatments, and overall health of beehives. Your beehive deserves more than a crumpled notepad. Ruche is a thoughtful inspection companion for beekeepers who take their craft seriously, whether you're managing one hive in your backyard or a full apiary in bloom. Designed for the way real inspections actually happen, gloves on, hands full, bees everywhere. Ruche meets you right where you are. Inspect without putting anything down. Ruche is voice-activated, so when your hands are in the hive (and inevitably sticky), you can log everything you see without missing a beat. Full inspection or a quick partial check, just speak, and Ruche listens. Capture everything that matters. Log each hive by name or number, tag its location, and attach photos directly to your inspection record. Count frames of eggs, pollen, and nectar. Note queen activity, brood patterns, hive temperament, and honey stores — all in one place, beautifully organized. Never lose track of your queen. From the moment your hive caps a queen cell, Ruche's built-in Queen Calculator counts forward so you know exactly when to expect her mated and laying. No more guessing. No more missed windows. Know when to pull your treatment, before it's too late. Select the treatment you've applied and Ruche automatically calculates your removal deadline. Whether it's oxalic acid, Apivar, or another protocol, you'll always know the date that matters. Mite monitoring, made simple. Record the results and date of every mite wash or sticky board test so you can track colony health trends across the season, and act before a small number becomes a big problem. Your apiary. Always with you. Every hive builds its own living record, inspection by inspection, season by season. Ruche doesn't just help you remember. It helps you become a better beekeeper. From the hive. For the hive.
