Penn State College of Agriculture developed Beescape to help beekeepers, gardeners, etc. assess the value of their surrounding landscape. The program works on a computer or your phone. There is no app to download. By entering the address of the apiary you can see up to a 5 mile radius on a map. There is also a breakdown, by percentage, agricultural use, water, forest, etc. There is also another chart to breakdown the quality of floral sources by seasons. It's pretty cool.
