UK beekeeping technology · 2027 founding programme

Every hive has a story.
HiveIQ remembers it.

Intelligent records. Trusted histories. Better beekeeping.

HiveIQ is a new UK-focused hive-management platform designed around real inspections — helping beekeepers record what happened, understand each colony and keep the next action in view.

Founding beekeeper applications close 31 December 2026.

The HiveIQ experience

Designed to feel at home in your hand at the hive.

Mobile-first inspection records, clear actions and visual colony histories make the important information easy to reach while you are working.

Built around real inspections

Less notebook searching. More useful colony history.

Record inspections quickly, keep actions linked to the observation that created them and build a digital history for every colony.

01

Record

Inspections, bees, brood, queen status, stores, supers, temperament, feeding, treatments, photographs and free-text observations.

02

Understand

Follow colony strength, queen history, health observations and management events across the season rather than losing them in separate notes.

03

Act

Turn follow-ups into linked actions, calendar dates and reminders without changing the original historical inspection.

A working apiary view

Your records should tell you what needs attention next.

HiveIQ is designed to bring inspection history, outstanding actions, treatments, queen issues and time-critical jobs together on one dashboard.

Before an apiary visit, choose where you are going and use the outstanding work to prepare what needs to go in the car.

AI Apiary Assistant

Observe. Understand. Act.

HiveIQ's AI direction is designed around the beekeeper remaining in control. Dictate naturally, add photographs when useful and let the software structure the record and ask about information that is missing or ambiguous.

  • Retain the original inspection note alongside structured data.
  • Separate observations from AI suggestions and management recommendations.
  • Prompt for photographs when a health condition is recorded.
  • Use AI image assistance as support, not as a substitute for professional disease diagnosis.

HiveIQ Passport

Sell more than a nuc. Sell its history.

When a nuc or colony is sold, the seller can choose to expose a controlled buyer-facing history: queen information, inspections, temperament, treatment records and transfer details.

The same permanent QR identity can support the beekeeper view, public hive information and buyer history without exposing private apiary data.
