Skep: Beekeeping Hive Log

Skep is a simple, dependable beekeeping app for logging hive inspections, made for beekeepers with a few hives in one apiary or several. Record an inspection in under a minute, mostly with taps instead of typing, and see at a glance which colony is due next.

WHAT YOU CAN RECORD
• Apiaries and hives (National, Langstroth, Warre, top bar, flow and more)
• Inspections: queen seen, eggs, brood frames, temper, stores, signs of disease and free notes
• Photos kept inside the app, not scattered through your gallery
• Varroa counts (alcohol wash, sugar roll or sticky board) with a warning at a threshold you set
• Queen register: marking colour by year, clipped or not, source, lineage and replacement history
• To-do lists with ready-made seasonal checklists, and reminders when an inspection is due

BUILT FOR THE APIARY
• Works fully offline. No account, no sign-in, no signal needed
• Every change is saved the moment you make it, and a backup copy is kept, so a crash or a flat battery does not cost you your records
• Your records stay on your device. Skep collects no data and has no ads or tracking
• Archive hives that die out or are merged. The history is kept and your list stays tidy
• Export every inspection to a spreadsheet (CSV) at any time, free
• Light and dark themes, large text and TalkBack support

FREE, WITH ONE UNLOCK
Skep is free for up to 3 active hives. One single purchase, with no subscription, unlocks unlimited hives and printable PDF hive records.

Skep is a record-keeping tool. The varroa threshold and the checklists are starting points that you can change. They are not veterinary or bee inspector advice, so follow the bee health guidance for your country.
