What you get

Three things that change how you keep records.

Free-text inspection notes

Write the way you'd write to a fellow beekeeper. No dropdowns, no rigid forms, no losing the nuance. Plain text, year by year, yours forever.

Ask anything about your hives

"When did I last see the queen?" "Which hives are most defensive?" Zanboor reads your records and answers in plain English — with UK beekeeping context built in.

Count varroa mites from a photo

Snap your wash board. AI vision counts the mites for you, highlights each one, and stores the result with the date — so you can see treatment outcomes over time.

How it works

Set up in under three minutes.

Add your apiary, add a hive, type a note. That's the whole onboarding. Everything else gets out of your way.

1.

Add your apiary

One field — the location name. Optional GPS unlocks weather context for every inspection.

2.

Type a record

Free text. Voice dictation if you're in the field with gloves on. One inspection per visit.

3.

Ask anything

The AI reads everything you've written and answers in plain English. No tagging, no schemas.

Built for UK beekeepers

AI that understands the National Bee Unit, not just any bees.

Zanboor's answers are grounded in current UK guidance — notifiable diseases, approved treatments, seasonal tasks, legal duties. The kind of thing that takes a new beekeeper years to internalise.

  • Flags suspected AFB / EFB and reminds you of the duty to report
  • Recommends OA / thymol before pyrethroids, NBU-aligned
  • Spots swarm-risk patterns across recent inspections
  • Weather context attached to every record automatically
  • Voice dictation in the field — no typing with sticky gloves

Built by a beekeeper. Free for new keepers.

1 apiary, 5 hives, and the full AI feature set on the free tier.
