A hive record is one thing. An apiary — a physical site with its own GPS location, weather, forage radius, and hive list — is a different management problem entirely. SunnyBee is built around the apiary as the core unit, not just the individual hive.
Which of your six apiaries needs a visit today? Without a roll-up dashboard, that's a memory exercise, not a management decision.
Two apiaries placed too close compete for the same nectar sources — and most beekeepers only find out after a weak season.
A frost warning for apiary A doesn't mean anything for apiary C two valleys over. Generic weather apps don't know where your bees actually are.
Without per-apiary expense tracking, you can't tell which site is actually profitable and which is just busy.
See all your sites at once — hive counts, health status, and foraging-radius circles so you can spot overlap between locations before it costs you a season.
Each apiary gets its own weather forecast based on its exact GPS coordinates — not the nearest city. Know which site is worth the drive today.
Every apiary shows its own hive list, most recent inspection date, and HEALTHY / AT_RISK / NEEDS_ATTENTION breakdown — the whole site's status at a glance.
Log costs and yields against the specific apiary they belong to, so you can calculate real profitability per site instead of guessing from a blended total.
On PRO, assign field technicians and partners access to specific apiaries only — not your whole operation. Roles set per site, not blanket across the account.
Most apiaries don't have reliable coverage. Inspections and records sync automatically once you're back in range.
Standard (free) supports 1 apiary up to 9 hives. Premium supports up to 3 apiaries and 100 hives. PRO supports up to 5 apiaries and 380 hives. Operations beyond that are covered under SunnyBee Enterprise, coordinated across multiple accounts.
Yes. Each apiary is placed by its actual GPS coordinates, with a foraging-radius circle so you can evaluate overlap and competition between your own sites, not just a pin on a generic map.
Yes. Expenses and harvests are logged per apiary (and optionally per hive), so the summary screen shows real cost and yield per site — not a single blended number for the whole operation.
Each apiary gets its own 5-day forecast and weather-event push notifications based on its own coordinates. A frost warning for one site doesn't get sent for apiaries where it doesn't apply.
Yes — inspections happen at the hive level, but the apiary is the operational unit above it: location, weather, forage competition, per-site cost, and per-site team access. SunnyBee manages both layers, not just the hive record.
Start free with one apiary, or request a PRO trial if you're already managing more than one site.
