Hi fellow beekeepers!
I wanted to introduce myself and share my journey at the intersection of beekeeping and technology.
I've been keeping bees for 7 years, managing 20 hives, and like many of you,
I've experienced the practical challenges of hive inspections - from taking notes with gloved hands to maintaining consistent inspection practices while working through my apiary.
As a software developer, I found myself uniquely positioned to address some of these common pain points. I'm currently developing software specifically designed for beehive inspections, born from my own experiences in the field. My focus has been on solving real-world problems we face during inspections, like the awkwardness of documentation while wearing protective gear and maintaining systematic inspection protocols.
I'm particularly interested in connecting with other beekeepers to understand your experiences and challenges with hive inspections. What methods do you use to record observations during inspections? How do you manage documentation while wearing a veil and gloves? What inspection protocols have you found most effective?
Looking forward to learning from your collective wisdom and sharing insights as we work to improve our beekeeping practices.
