Smoke the hive. Lift the frame.Capped
Beeswicks LLC is a computer systems design studio in Myton that builds integrated hive bay software for apiary operators. The company works from the bee yard at 617 E 5000 S, Myton - 84052-1217, United States (US), where every workflow is tested against real comb, real frames, and real season pressure. Our tools follow a single discipline of calm observation, and you can read how the six hive bench services run → before you book a season.
Book a season window →Six services that run a working bee yard
Each service below is a scheduled desk inside the hive bay rather than a one-off job. We group them into a single season rhythm so that diagnostics, hardware, and human care all point the same direction, and so the operator never has to hold the whole schedule in memory.
Candle Dipping Desk
The dipping desk turns surplus comb into clean taper stock while logging every pour, wick gauge, and wax temperature into the yard dashboard. Operators get a repeatable recipe instead of a running notebook, and the whole run is cross-checked against the frame record so no batch drifts from the approved spec.
Comb Rendering Rounds
Rendering rounds collect spent comb on a fixed weekly route and return it to a measured block, with yield and moisture tracked per yard. The software schedules the pickups, prints the tickets, and reconciles the returned wax against the intake so a missed load is visible the same afternoon.
Swarm Care Weeks
Swarm care weeks are the busiest part of the calendar, and the bay software holds the trap map, call list, and relocation notes in one place. When a swarm call arrives the operator sees the nearest empty hive, the last inspection date, and the mated queen record without leaving the dispatch screen.
Frame Inspection Days
Inspection days take a slow pass through every frame and record brood pattern, stores, and any sign of stress in a structured sheet. The bay turns those notes into a short list of frames worth pulling, which keeps the physical yard and the digital record moving at the same pace through the season.
Honey House Sessions
Honey house sessions cover extraction planning, room temperature, and the handoff between the extractor and the bottling bench. Every session is booked against a real capacity number, so the house never takes on more supers than the room can handle in a working day and the crew leaves on time.
Smoker Maintenance Evenings
Smoker maintenance evenings are the quiet end of the cycle, when every canister is stripped, cleaned, and checked against the fuel log. The bay flags worn bellows and clogged nozzles before a field day depends on them, and the maintenance history rolls straight into the next inspection sheet.
Swarm season opens in early April across the Myton valley and runs until the first hard frost, and the hive bay keeps its call list open the whole window so a small cluster on a fence post never becomes a lost colony.
Why a hive bay and not a dashboard
A dashboard shows numbers; a hive bay shows work. We designed the studio around the physical sequence of a real inspection, so the software mirrors the order of smoke, lift, and record rather than forcing the operator to translate between the yard and a screen. That order is the whole point of the system.
Because the studio sits at the Myton yard, every interface is tested in the dust, heat, and long light of an actual season. When a workflow is too clever for gloved hands it is rebuilt, not explained away in a manual.
What the operator receives
Every engagement includes a plain-language season plan, a printed run book for the crew, and a software build that matches the six hive bench services. You keep full ownership of your data, and the bay exports every record into an open format at any time.
Support runs during business hours from the same bench that builds the system, so a question about a frame record reaches the person who wrote the field, not a distant queue.
Measured inside a living yard
We keep a short, honest set of numbers from our own Myton operation. They describe the studio, not a promise about any other yard, and they are refreshed at the close of every season.
Four steps from first call to a working bay
The engagement follows the same rhythm as the yard itself. Nothing begins until the operator and the crew agree on the physical sequence, and nothing ships until the software matches that sequence in daily use.
Walk the yard
We visit the bee yard and watch a full inspection before writing a single line. The notes from that visit become the spine of the build.
Map the record
Every field the crew actually uses is separated from the fields a report once asked for. The bay keeps only what a gloved hand can confirm.
Build and test
The software is trialled beside the physical bench for a full cycle, so drift between the screen and the comb is caught early.
Hand over
The crew receives the run book, the printed sheets, and a training afternoon at the bench. The bay then belongs to the yard.
Built for the Professional Services day
Beeswicks LLC works inside the professional, scientific, and technical services sector, with a focus on computer integrated systems design for small agricultural operators. Our clients are apiaries, pollination contractors, and honey houses that run on tight seasonal margins and cannot afford a tool that asks the crew to think in two places at once.
A hive bay integration connects the field record, the physical bench, and the back office into one sequence. Instead of exporting a spreadsheet from a phone and retyping it at the kitchen table, the crew confirms a frame at the hive and the same record arrives at the honey house desk in a form the house can act on.
We take on a small number of new yards each season, because every build is grounded in a physical visit rather than a remote call. That limit is deliberate, and it is the reason the studio can promise that nothing ships until it has been used in a real yard.
What you can expect from us
- A named engineer who walks the Myton yard with your crew
- Plain-language documentation that fits on one printed sheet per desk
- Open data export with no lock-in clause and no seat fee
- Seasonal review at the close of the swarm window
- Direct phone and email support during normal business hours
- A written record of every change made to your bay
A quiet word on data and care
We treat yard records with the same respect we ask the crew to treat a frame. Personal details stay in the bay, they are never sold, and they never leave the studio except at your explicit request. The full picture is set out in our Privacy Policy, and the working agreement is covered in the Terms of Service.
