Apiary Book

What Apiary Book does

Apiary Book is a privately held software company founded in 2018 and headquartered in London, United Kingdom, that provides apiary management software available on Android, iOS, and the web. The platform is designed for beekeepers to manage hive-related operations, presumably including inspection logging and hive record-keeping, though specific feature details are not disclosed in the available data. The company operates with a micro-team of 1-10 employees and is led by Founder & CEO Bogdan Iordache alongside CTO Aurel Cristescu, whose remit explicitly includes Hardware IoT — suggesting a potential future direction toward sensor-connected hive hardware as an extension of the software platform.

The company raised a single disclosed seed round of approximately $27,218 from Bethnal Green Ventures in May 2018, with no subsequent funding events recorded. Its revenue model, pricing structure, customer segments, and unit economics are not disclosed. The website (apiarybook.com) currently presents a loading/verification state, offering no further operational insight. Given the absence of follow-on capital, customer logos, partnerships, or product detail beyond the cross-platform app footprint, the company presents as a sub-scale, early-stage venture with limited observable traction in the input data.

There is no disclosed evidence of enterprise customers, B2B distribution, or institutional beekeeping operations as users, implying the addressable customer base consists of individual hobbyist or small commercial beekeepers. No AI capabilities, integrations, patents, certifications, or strategic partnerships have been disclosed, and the company's current operating status is unconfirmed.

Emerging players

• Pollenity: Pollenity offers a smart beekeeping platform with connected hives and a management app, comparable to Apiary Book on the software side and indicative of where the category is heading.
• BeeHero: BeeHero combines in-hive IoT sensors with a data platform focused on commercial pollination, competing in the connected-beekeeping category where Apiary Book would need to expand to grow.
• Apivox: Apivox is a smart-hive monitoring startup combining acoustic sensor hardware with software analytics, a relevant emerging peer as Apiary Book moves toward IoT-enabled features.

Direct peers

• Arnia: Arnia provides remote hive monitoring hardware and software for beekeepers, directly comparable to Apiary Book's apiary-management focus and the IoT extension of its platform.
• BeeTight: BeeTight is a mobile-first beekeeping management app for tracking hives, inspections, and treatments — a like-for-like software peer competing for the same hobbyist audience.
• BroodMinder: BroodMinder sells connected hive sensors and an accompanying app for apiary data management, combining software and IoT hardware in the same niche that Apiary Book's CTO roadmap points toward.
• HiveTracks: HiveTracks is a beekeeping management platform offering hive record-keeping, inspection logs, and mapping for hobbyist and commercial beekeepers — the most direct functional competitor to Apiary Book.
• BeeKeepPal: BeeKeepPal is a free beekeeping record-keeping app; it represents the low-/no-cost alternative that pressures Apiary Book's monetization in the hobbyist segment.

Broad incumbents

• Conservis: Conservis is a broader farm-management platform that includes apiary-adjacent record-keeping; it represents the incumbent that could absorb Apiary Book's target users within a generalist ag-tech suite.

Others

• Bethnal Green Ventures: BGV is Apiary Book's existing seed investor; included as an ecosystem-relevant reference for comparable mission-driven UK early-stage bets in the agritech / digital-tools space.
