MEET ABBY, YOUR AI BEEKEEPING ASSISTANT (Advanced)
- Ask anything about hive management, varroa, queens, diseases, and seasonal tasks
- Attach a photo — "is this the queen?", "what disease is this?", "is this normal?" — and Abby describes what she sees, her confidence, and how to verify it
- Abby always reminds you that AI photo ID isn't always correct and points you to trusted resources like your state apiary inspector and local extension office
Apiary Assistant offers optional Standard and Advanced subscriptions. Abby's AI chat and photo analysis are part of the Advanced plan. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the period; manage or cancel in your Apple Account settings.

Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
FORAGE & BLOOM — NEW
See what's in season near your hives. Pick a yard with coordinates and the app checks which nectar and pollen plants are both flowering this month and actually recorded growing near you — goldenrod and aster now, black locust and clover come spring.
- "In Bloom Now" opens by default: plants seen near your yard, then everything else in season this month.
- "Full Year" is one tap away — a year-at-a-glance grid showing each plant's bloom window, with nectar and pollen marked.
- Now on the Today tab, so it's not buried in a menu.
- Also on the web dashboard.
PLANNER
- The Overdue, Due Today, Upcoming and Completed boxes are buttons now — tap one to open that list instead of reading a description of it.
- The Completed list shows your full history.
CALENDAR
- Tapping a date shows that day's reminders immediately. Previously you had to tap a different date and come back.
TREATMENTS
- Recheck and re-apply dates update themselves when you change the treatment or the amount.
- Reminders created from a treatment now appear on the calendar with the rest of your work.
SYNC
- Deleted hives, apiaries, reminders and records stay deleted across your devices instead of reappearing.
- Set a default apiary from the Apiaries screen — long-press a yard or use the menu inside it.
POLISH
- Consistent Done button above the keyboard.
- Better contrast in sunlight and improved color-blind support.
Thanks for the reports — several of these came straight from beekeepers writing in.
