Start Collecting Data
Using Nectar starts by attaching a unique tag to each hive and scanning it into the digital registry. Then, as you work the hives, input actions and observations with the Nectar app and let data begin to collect.

Analyze & Plan
With a 360° view of your outfit, you can begin to see what’s working and what’s not. Real-time yard and hive-level data helps you plan & improve your operations.

Improve & Earn

Nectar helps me manage my operations at a distance
I wholeheartedly recommend Nectar to every beekeeper that I talk to. I think this is the future of how to keep track of your stuff—the best way to keep track of your hives, and make sure that people did what they say that they did.

I didn't realize when I signed up that I would get all of that GPS data for my hives and everything. Now I can kick that report over to my insurance agent and I'm not going to be missing anything. I'm going to get the full benefit and be able to insure so much more.
Gary Barber
Owner at Bees Unlimited & VP of the Texas Beekeepers Association
I can't be everywhere all the time. So now that every one of my crew has the Nectar app, I can still have my finger on the pulse of the operation without me physically being there all the time.
