Anel Beehive RFID Tags allow you to scan your hives with your Apple or Android mobile device app and then key in or select data for tracking the hive status. Because the typical beekeeper is not able to type on their phone wearing protective gloves the app supports a voice recording mode where you can key in the data later on in the comfort of your home. The beehive management software is provided by Anel and is a work in progress and they are planning to implement many new features over the upcoming months.
