The ApiaryIQ Mentor

An experienced beekeeper in your pocket.

Ask out loud and hear the answer, or type if you prefer. The Mentor answers from trusted New Zealand beekeeping sources, in plain words, and it knows your hives, so it can tell you what your own records say.

“Is it too early to put a super on in the Waikato?”

“No, late October isn’t too early… One thing from your records: Hive 2 still has its Apistan strips in. Get those out before any honey super goes on.”

A real answer from the app. NZ seasons, NZ rules, and straight to MPI for anything suspicious.

The Mentor's full spoken answer, including a reminder about overdue strips in Hive 2

How it helps

Answers about your hives, not hives in general.

Ask out loud, hear it back

Tap the microphone and ask, with your hands full. The answer is written out and read aloud. Or type, if you prefer.

NZ seasons, NZ rules

Spring is October here. The answer knows it.

Your hives in the answer

It has read your records, so it can tell you which hives need attention, or spot strips still in Hive 2.

Straight to MPI when it matters

Anything that looks like AFB or an exotic pest: 0800 80 99 66. It’s a helpful guide, not the final word.
