Using the Bee Health Guru App for the First Time | Hive Inspection
I just got an early-release copy of the Bee Health Guru smartphone app. The app listens to your hive and compares the bees' sounds with a library of hive sounds. The app can detect if a hive is battling varroa mites, small hive beetles, foulbrood, nosema, and can even tell if a hive is queenless or Africanized--all without opening the hive! I learned about this app from my local beekeeping chapter here in North Carolina, the Chatham County Beekeepers Association - https://www.chatham-beekeepers.org/ One of the group's members sent a link to this BEEKEEPING TODAY podcast interview with the app creators, Dr. Bromenshenk and Dr. Firth: http://beekeepingtodaypodcast.com/dr-jerry-bromenshenkdr-david-firth-bee-health-guru-uom-master-beekeeper-program-026 I listened to the podcast while the app creators' Kickstarter campaign was live, and I donated to the campaign to get an early-release copy of the app, which came out a few days ago: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/beehealthguru/bee-health-guru-a-smartphone-app-for-beekeepers Really excited for these guys and love this idea. The app will only get smarter over time as more beekeepers use it and the app's sound library grows! Bee Health Guru is an Android and Apple iOS smartphone app.
