đ About LevelBee
Professional beekeeping tools and resources for modern apiarists
đ¯ Our Mission
LevelBee was founded with a simple yet powerful mission: to provide beekeepers worldwide with professional-grade tools and resources that make apiary management more efficient, productive, and successful.
We believe that every beekeeper, from hobbyists with their first hive to commercial operators managing thousands of colonies, deserves access to accurate calculation tools, comprehensive planning resources, and expert guidance. Our platform bridges the gap between traditional beekeeping wisdom and modern data-driven management practices.
Through our free collection of 12 professional tools, we empower beekeepers to make informed decisions about hive management, harvest planning, treatment scheduling, and production optimization. Every tool is designed with real-world applicability in mind, tested by experienced beekeepers, and continuously improved based on user feedback.
đ Our Story
LevelBee emerged from a need we experienced firsthand in the beekeeping community. While working with beekeepers across different skill levels and operation sizes, we noticed a common challenge: the lack of accessible, accurate tools for planning and calculation tasks essential to successful apiary management.
Traditional beekeeping relies heavily on experience and intuition, which are invaluable. However, modern beekeeping also benefits from precise calculations for harvest planning, treatment scheduling, and resource allocation. We saw an opportunity to combine traditional wisdom with modern tools to help beekeepers optimize their operations.
Our team began developing tools that we wished existed when we started beekeeping. Each calculator, planner, and tracker was created to solve real problems we encountered in apiaries. We tested every tool with working beekeepers, refined the calculations based on feedback, and ensured that the results matched real-world outcomes.
Today, LevelBee serves over 10,000 active users worldwide, from backyard beekeepers to commercial operations. Our tools have helped calculate millions of pounds of honey harvests, schedule countless hive inspections, and plan treatments for healthier colonies.
