About WhisperBee
WhisperBee is a hands-free assistant built for working beekeepers. Open a hive, speak the inspection out loud, and the structured data fills itself in — queen seen, brood pattern, varroa count, temperament, and more — into a clean record you can edit on your phone or in the web portal at whisperbee.app. WORKS OFFLINE Every write — voice recording, photo, edit, note — saves to a local database on your phone first. Audio queues for transcription. Photos queue for upload. Sync runs in the background the moment the network returns. No spinner, no lost work, no dead zones at the bee yard. SCAN-AND-SPEAK Stick a QR code sticker on each hive lid. Scan it from the Home tab to jump straight into that hive — last inspection's voice note ready to play back. Tap the mic to start today's recording, gloves on, no menus. BEEKEEPING-TUNED SPEECH-TO-TEXT Transcription is primed with a beekeeping vocabulary list and post-corrected by a deterministic rules layer. Supersedure, varroa, nuc, propolis, requeening — all come through correctly without you having to over-enunciate. YOU STAY IN CONTROL AI is for typing, not for diagnosing. Every extracted field is editable on the inspection screen. The call on what to do for your bees is yours. Disease and queen-status suggestions are clearly framed as suggestions, with the rules that produced them visible inline. ACTION ITEMS THAT DON'T SLIP THROUGH Concerns flagged in your voice notes — "low stores," "no eggs seen," "needs treatment" — become action items on the dashboard with due dates and priorities. Nothing lives only in last week's audio. YOUR APIARY, ORGANIZED Apiaries, hives, inspections, treatments, harvests, queens — all in one model, all in one record. PRIVACY-FIRST GPS coordinates are visible only to you and members of your organization — never aggregated, never shared outside it. Voice recordings stay encrypted in transit. We use OpenAI Whisper for transcription and Anthropic Claude for extraction — and neither retains your audio for training. You can export everything as JSON (GDPR Art. 20) or delete your account end-to-end from the app. NOT YET, BUT COMING Cross-hive reports, dashboards, equipment tracking, multi-user shared apiaries, and PDF exports for USDA ELAP are on the active roadmap. Photo analysis, conversational chat with the assistant, and Bluetooth-headset hands-free flow are tracked but deferred until pricing economics make sense. BUILT BY A BEEKEEPER WhisperBee is built by an active beekeeper who is also a software engineer, frustrated with taking notes in propolis-coated gloves. Every feature earns its place against one job: the part of beekeeping where your hands are full and the bees are loud. PRICING Free tier supports up to 2 hives. Paid plans: Backyard $8/mo (up to 10 hives), Sideliner $19/mo (up to 50 hives), Commercial $49/mo (up to 500 hives). Subscribe in the app or at whisperbee.app. Cancel anytime.

What’s new
Version 1.0.4 · Updated August 1, 2026
- Start a voice inspection, lock your phone, and keep working the hive - the recording continues hands-free until the 60-second limit and saves the instant it ends, with a spoken confirmation through your headset. - Replay a saved inspection recording with your phone locked or in your pocket. The hive name and playback controls appear right on the lock screen. - Spoken confirmations now come through clearly on Bluetooth headsets, and a recording cut off at the time limit tells you so. - Reliability fixes for recordings made with the screen locked.
