Your Complete Beekeeping Command Centre

BMaster members get access to a fully integrated apiary management system built by beekeepers, for beekeepers. Track your yards, hives, queens, and colony health — all in one place, all season long.

📍 Yards & Hive Management

Organise your operation by yard (apiary location) and track every hive within each yard. Whether you run one backyard hive or dozens of yards across a region, the system scales with you.

  • Multiple yard locations — register each site with its address and notes
  • Hive-by-hive tracking — name, configuration, age, and status at a glance
  • Frame counts — brood, honey, pollen, empty, foundation, and comb frames per box
  • Hive configuration history — follow how each hive's equipment evolves over the season
  • Pallet and box inventory — know exactly what equipment is out at each yard

🔍 Detailed Hive Inspections

Go beyond a paper notebook. Every inspection is recorded with a full frame-by-frame breakdown, a visual hive diagram, and a timestamped audit trail you can search and compare.

  • Frame-level detail — record the type and condition of every frame in every box
  • Visual hive diagram — colour-coded frame layout: brood (orange), honey (yellow), pollen (green), empty (white), foundation (grey)
  • Queen status — link each inspection to the reigning queen, note her laying pattern and temperament
  • Observations & treatments — document disease signs, mite washes, feeding, and any treatments applied
  • Inspection calendar — schedule upcoming inspections and get a season-at-a-glance view
  • Seasonal reports — trend charts that reveal how each hive is progressing across the year

🐛 Queen Rearing & Queen Records

Raise better queens with structured records from graft to introduction. The Queen Rearing module guides you through each stage and keeps a permanent log of every queen in your operation.

  • Queen records — genetic line, colour marking, parent queen, drone source, acquisition date
  • Mating & laying status — track from virgin through mated, laying, superseded, or retired
  • Graft calendar — plan your grafting cycles and emergence dates
  • Hive assignment history — see exactly which hive every queen has occupied
  • Queen event log — grafted, emerged, introduced, treated, moved, replaced — all timestamped

💊 Colony Health Monitoring

Stay ahead of disease and pests. The health module helps you log mite counts, disease observations, and treatments so you can act early and keep your colonies strong.

  • Varroa mite tracking — alcohol wash and sticky board counts with trend history
  • Disease & pest observations — log AFB, EFB, nosema, small hive beetle, and more
  • Treatment records — oxalic acid, formic, thymol — dosage, dates, and hive-level compliance
  • Feeding log — syrup, pollen substitute, type and quantity per hive
  • Health alerts — flag hives that need attention before your next yard visit

🌿 Bee Pasture & Forage Planning

Great honey starts with great forage. Use the Bee Pasture database to plan what blooms near your yards throughout the season and identify gaps in your bees' diet.

  • Plant encyclopedia — hundreds of bee-forage plants with bloom times, nectar and pollen ratings
  • Forage calendar — see what's in bloom at your location week by week
  • Environmental planning — identify forage gaps and plan plantings to fill them
  • Citizen science — contribute pollen observations to help the wider beekeeping community
