BeeInTouch is a digital apiary management and electronic hive record tool for beekeepers. It runs in the browser and also offers Android/iOS apps such as BeeInTouch - Willi and BeeInTouch - Lager. This is not general-purpose business software, but a highly vertical beekeeping SaaS built around workflows for apiaries, colonies, inventory, honey traceability, breeding, and sales ledgers.
At the core of the product is a digital Stockkarte for apiaries and colonies. Users can create apiaries on an interactive map and record inspections, disease treatments, hive relocations, feeding, honey harvesting, queen replacement, varroa mite control, and more for each colony. QR Code and NFC tags are a highlight: once attached to a hive, scanning the tag opens the corresponding record, and the system also supports scanning multiple colonies in sequence to perform bulk actions such as feeding, relocation, and varroa treatment. The mobile apps support offline entry, which is useful for apiaries without network coverage.
The management modules are fairly comprehensive. Todo and scheduling features support priorities, due dates, Push reminders, and assignment to colleagues. Inspection fields can be customized from more than 70 indicators. Inventory and batch management allow honey to be traced from the jar back to the apiary and colony. The queen-rearing module can manage breeding series and provide email reminders. Analytics can compare honey harvests, feeding, and the effectiveness of varroa treatments. The cash ledger can also be automatically linked to inventory changes. For teams, paid plans support 3 to 15 team members and allow control over which apiaries are visible to each member.
BeeInTouch offers a free Hobby edition, limited to 5 colonies, 2 apiaries, and no team members. Paid plans start with Hobby Plus at €3.08/month and go up to Riesenimker at €48.93/month, scaling by number of colonies, apiaries, inventory items, products, ledgers, and team members. Custom quotes are available for larger colony counts. Deployment is mainly via the cloud-based browser version and mobile apps; the material does not mention self-hosting.
Its strengths are the depth of beekeeping-specific coverage. Batch traceability, Bestandsbuch/PDF, offline mobile use, and NFC/QR-based field operations are all highly practical, especially for sideline, professional, and certification-oriented beekeeping operations. The drawbacks are that the available material does not disclose details on API access, developer support, data encryption, backups, GDPR, or other security practices. Third-party integrations also appear limited, with only references to weather servers, Beebreed numbers, and Buckfast Pedigree-related information.
Access from China is unknown. The product is primarily German-language; while English and French entry points are available, there is no visible Chinese interface, local payment support, or information about mainland China nodes. If Chinese users face access, payment, or language limitations, alternatives could include domestic low-code form tools, agricultural production management systems, or a self-built apiary ledger.
