Save bees, time and strength
How does the app work?
Model beehives
Model hives to remember where to take action and why when paper notes become hard to maintain in the field.
Upload frame photos
Take frame photos and upload them to the app. Gratheon detects and counts bees to measure colony size.
Store inspections
Track colony development over time and compare the same frame to see changes in the colony.
Live Queen Finder
Use your phone camera during inspection and let Gratheon point out queen-like detections as you scan the frame.
Estimate resources
Detect cells and estimate resource ratios. Balancing nectar and pollen between colonies can prevent starvation.
Measure mite infestation
Detect and count varroa mites without killing bees with an alcohol wash test.
Learn from AI
Use hive context to get one-button advice from a large language model on possible next steps.
Take notes
Use an iPad pencil or mouse to draw on top of the frame and highlight important regions.
Share
Share hive inspections with the beekeeping community and get expert advice.
Spy on bees
Stream beehive entrances using the open-source entrance observer client, an unused phone, or Raspberry Pi.
Hardware products
Beehive sensors prototype phase
Measure temperature, humidity, CO2 level, barometric pressure, sound and weight to correlate colony development with environmental factors. Most affordable, data- and energy-efficient.
Entrance Observer MVP phase
Get video feed of entrance in real-time. Count bees coming in and out to estimate foraging bee daily loss. Detect varroa mites riding on bees. Track pollen flow. Detect robbing, worker orientation flights. Detect queen mating flights.
Modular Robotic beehive ideation phase
Our ultimate goal. Automate inspections with a mechanical frame extraction. Save energy from lifting heavy beehive sections. Reduce bees dying from inspections. Improve efficiency with remote internal observation to save time on field trips. Be always up-to-date with alert notifications. Keep neighbours sting-free in urban areas.
