hivemunk (hivemunk.com): hive management for beekeepers.

Data engineer, 20 yrs software / 10 in ag-tech. Picked up beekeeping and was surprised how much structured data a single inspection produces, and how nowhere useful exists to put it. It's a gloved, veiled, honey-and-propolis-covered activity. Tapping through a mobile UI mid-inspection is not ideal, and good luck getting your phone back clean.

The core is a virtual hive model. It's all mutable state: boxes, frames, components, queens, and colonies you rearrange to mirror the physical yard. Treatments, feedings, and inspections layer on top.

This summer I'm shipping voice-driven inspections: narrate what you see frame by frame, STT + LLM pipeline extracts structured data and maps it to your hive model.

If you have beekeeping friends, I'd love it if you could send it along <3. I won't claim it has every feature under the sun, but I work on it every day and have a strong roadmap ahead.

Also open to critiques. Thanks!
