Beekeeping notes get made in a bee suit, in a field with no signal — and end up on scraps of paper. Combly is a proper hive logbook that works entirely on your phone, so next visit you know exactly what you found last time.
In season every colony has to be opened every seven to ten days. What you saw matters at the next visit — and that is exactly when it has been lost.
Without a record you re-open every box guessing. Combly shows the last visit's queen, eggs, brood pattern and temperament before you lift a lid.
Put supers back too early and the crop is contaminated. Combly tracks each treatment's withdrawal period and tells you the day it clears.
Out-apiaries rarely have bars. Everything is stored on the phone, so the app works the same in a field as it does at home.
Everything a hobby or sideline beekeeper actually records — structured so it can be searched, charted and exported later.
Queen seen, eggs, capped brood, brood pattern, temperament, population, stores and space — tap-sized controls you can drive in gloves.
Track each queen's origin, install date and international marking colour, with the full supersede and requeen history per colony.
Log the product, dose and dates — Combly counts the withdrawal period and warns you before supers go back on.
Alcohol wash, sugar roll, CO₂ or 24-hour drop — normalised to mites per 100 bees and flagged against the action threshold.
Weigh every pull, count the frames, and watch a running season total per colony and across the whole apiary.
Each colony carries its own inspection interval. The agenda shows what is due, what is overdue, and which withdrawal periods clear next.
Inspection cadence, honey per colony, varroa trend against the threshold, and colony strength over the season.
A weekly inspection streak, season harvest targets and thirteen unlockable badges keep the habit going through the season.
Full-text search across colonies, notes and tags, plus filters by status, favourite and apiary — and sorting by what needs attention first.
A full JSON backup you can restore, plus a per-inspection CSV that opens straight in a spreadsheet for association records.
Light, dark or automatic, five accent colours and a compact layout — all saved securely on device.
No account, no analytics, no third-party SDKs. Field notes are stored in an encrypted box on your own device.
Combly is designed to be opened every seven to ten days, all summer — and then to hand you back a season's worth of records when you need them.
Trends, cadence, yield and varroa charts computed on device.
Streaks, season goals and badges that reward turning up.
Apiaries, tags, search, filters, favourites and archive with undo.
Your records, exportable to JSON and CSV whenever you want them.
Add your colonies, set each one's inspection rhythm, and let Combly keep the record. Try it with a sample apiary first, or start with an empty book — your call.
