MaRuche

About MaRuche

MaRuche is the beekeeping logbook for a beekeeper who's always in the hive. You open it, you look, you take notes. Three taps, and it's done.

Everything works offline. Whether you're in a field, a forest, or the mountains, the app doesn't rely on your connection. Everything you enter is saved on your phone and automatically uploads when the network returns.

WHAT YOU TRACK

• Your apiaries and hives: format (Dadant, Langstroth, Warré, Voirnot, Nicot, Divisible), location, year and queen marking color, colony status.

• The visit log: queen sighted, egg-laying, colony strength, stores, queen cells, supers added or removed, foundation frames, interventions, and notes.

• Dated tasks: feeding, adding a super, treating. A reminder arrives at 8 a.m. on the due date, even when offline. • The calendar: your logbook seen through the lens of time, a month at a glance.

DESIGNED FOR THE FIELD

Arrange your hives and apiaries in the order you visit them, not alphabetically. The tiles bear the hive's initials on the queen's marking color: you can identify the correct one without reading. Caging a queen automatically schedules treatments for day 21 and day 24—the delay that makes the treatment effective, and precisely the one that's often forgotten.

SEVERAL PEOPLE IN THE SAME APIARY

Share an apiary using a shortcode or a link, with editor or reader access. Assign a task to someone: they're notified on their phone, and when they check it off, the others know. No one goes out twice for the same task. Everyone keeps their own route in a shared apiary.

WHAT MARUCHE COSTS

• MaRuche is free, with no time limit: one apiary, up to five hives, and the complete logbook—visits, queen, health monitoring, and breeding record.

• You can entrust an apiary to someone, and join one, without paying anything. The invited person never pays.

• Three photos per apiary, per hive, and per visit.

• MaRuche+ will remove these limits for €24.90 per year: unlimited apiaries, hives, and photos, as many entrusted apiaries as needed, and the logbook on your computer. The subscription will open at the end of the closed trial; until then, everything is free.
