Yard math that should not live in a forum screenshot
Four calculators beekeepers actually Google: syrup ratios, mite wash percent, winter stores, honey moisture. They run in the browser. HiveFlow is the app that then logs the feeding, the wash, and the harvest on a GPS map.
Educational tools, not veterinary or food-safety advice. Thresholds cited from public extension / Honey Bee Health Coalition ranges. Confirm with your inspector and a calibrated refractometer.
These pages are built to rank for the calculator queries Apiary Tools already farms — then send the keeper into HiveFlow to store the feeding, the wash, and the harvest. No account required to run the math.
Sugar syrup calculator — 1:1 and 2:1 by US pints
Free sugar syrup calculator for beekeepers. Convert pounds of sugar into US pints of water for 1:1 (spring) or 2:1 (fall) syrup. HiveFlow logs the feeding on the hive timeline.
Varroa wash calculator — percent from a 300-bee sample
Free varroa wash calculator. Enter bees in the sample and mites counted. Get infestation percent against Honey Bee Health Coalition-style thresholds. Log the count in HiveFlow.
Winter feed calculator — pounds still missing
Estimate how many pounds of winter stores each hive still needs. Enter hive count, current stores, and a regional target (40–80 lb). HiveFlow tracks the feedings until you hit the number.
Honey moisture — extract, wait, or ferment risk
Enter honey moisture from a refractometer. See typical US cutoffs: extract around 17.8% or below, caution to 18.6%, ferment risk above. Log the harvest lot in HiveFlow.
