Every frame,
read like a scan.
Point your phone at a frame or the hive entrance. BeezGuard finds varroa mites, tells your bees apart from wasps, hornets and beetles, and picks out the queen, workers and drones — in photos and in video.

A guard at the hive door
BeezGuard sorts every insect it sees into two groups: the bees that belong in your hive, and the intruders that should be kept out.
Let in
Queen
Find her fast on a crowded frame and confirm the colony is queenright.
Worker
The bulk of the colony, counted and checked for mites.
Drone
Spot drone-heavy frames, where varroa likes to breed.
Kept out
Wasp
Raids weak colonies for honey and brood in late summer.
Hornet
Hawks bees at the entrance and can wipe out a hive.
Beetle
Small hive beetles lay eggs that ruin comb and honey.
The varroa mite is the biggest single threat to honey bee colonies. BeezGuard marks each mite it finds on your bees, so you can judge how heavy the infestation is and treat before the colony weakens.
Real detections from the app
These are unedited results from BeezGuard on real hives, from photos and from video.
How it works
- 1
Capture a photo or video
Take a picture of a frame, or record the hive entrance. You can also pick existing photos and videos from your gallery.

BeezGuard scans every insect
Each insect is boxed and labelled: queen, worker, drone, wasp, hornet or beetle. Varroa mites are flagged where they sit on a bee.

Act on what you see
Review the results, compare inspections over time, and decide whether a hive needs mite treatment or better entrance protection.
Works with photos and videos, taken live or picked from your gallery. For the best results, shoot in daylight, hold the phone steady, and fill the frame with bees.
