ApiNote · Voice hive inspections
Inspect the hive. Speak the details.
With a frame in your hands, typing is rarely the natural next step. Speak your observations, then turn the proposed entry into a record you have checked.
Free for up to 5 hives

01
Capture the observation
Say what you actually see while the detail is fresh. Use voice as another way into your hive record, not as an automatic diagnosis.
02
Keep the decision yours
Review hive selection, dates, quantities and wording before saving. Correct misunderstood speech and leave uncertain observations uncertain.
03
Continue the colony’s history
The saved inspection belongs with the hive’s other activities. Read it before the next visit and add the follow-up work you need.
- Open the voice-inspection workflow for the relevant hive.
- Speak your observations. Cloud voice and AI processing require an internet connection and microphone access.
- Review the proposed record, correct it and save the entry you want to keep.

The weather comes with the record.
ApiNote automatically adds current weather to your inspection using the apiary’s location — including temperature, wind and humidity, when weather data is available.
Your hive. Your observations. You review every record before saving.
This walkthrough. This recording includes an inspection, a feeding and a task. Your records depend on what you describe.
Before you start
One important detail.
Does voice inspection save without my review?
The workflow presents the proposed record for review. Check it before saving: AI output can be inaccurate and is not a substitute for an inspection or expert advice.
