Talk through the hive. Review the record afterwards.
HiveIQ is being designed so you can dictate observations at the hive and turn them into a structured inspection draft without stopping to type on every frame.
AI should organise what you said — not invent what you did not.
The planned workflow keeps the source recording or transcript, creates a structured draft and asks for missing information where needed. The beekeeper edits and confirms the record before it becomes trusted colony history.
What HiveIQ is designed to bring together
- Natural spoken inspection notes
- Offline capture with deferred processing
- Structured fields from the transcript
- Review before confirmation
- Clear provenance from source to saved record
Built for the language and rhythm of UK beekeeping.
HiveIQ is being developed around practical UK apiary work: brood boxes and supers, nucs and splits, queen cells, seasonal inspections, Varroa management, colony histories and the actions that follow an inspection.
AI suggestions remain suggestions. HiveIQ is designed to keep private records private by default and to require beekeeper review before AI-assisted interpretation becomes a confirmed record.
