New construction of moss pillow for inner cover of new design. Both are made for prototype of new Varroa Eliminator beehive, which goal is - to suppress the development of the Varroa mites' population in the bee family, and to maximize its own development.  The experiment is coming to its end. The results are good.  All news on https://apivox.blogspot.com/.  This construction of inner cover will make it possible to remove moisture from wintering family and to make acoustic control of the family without any problem, using wired mic. Moreover, you will have thermometer for monitoring of in-hive temperature.

Another example of measurement in winter, which should not be trusted !!! The sensitivity level, set by the rotary knob in the Monitoring mode, is too high for the measurement to be believed ... This was also indicated by the icon on the screen of Monitoring mode !!! In this case, it is better not to carry out the measurement even in the General State Control mode. The movement of the diagram shows that the signal is emitted by the bees. The signal level is very low ... It means, that the bees are all right ...

Now, when  in the north of Europe and the USA starts cold snaps,  and temperatures fall to + 5-0 degrees Celsius, we can have some  difficulties with obtaining acoustic data ... If everything is good in bees' families, then the signals are usually weak ... In order to see the picture of the signals in Monitoring mode in principal, you should raise the gain to yellow or even red (warning) zone.  As a rule, if everything is good in families, then not only the signal level is low, but the signals themselves are poorly differentiated ... There are no jobs in the hive that can attract a large number of workers. And at such moments, the reliability of the diagnosis is not high. Most importantly, that in the Monitoring mode, it can be seen, that the bees are alive and calm. In the General State Control mode, it is also seen that the levels of the bars on diagram are low and poorly differentiated. In  Brood Control mode, the chart can fluctuate around zero and can be colored in half in red and white, since the average value of this chart is zero .... This chart doesn’t show either the presence, or absence of open brood ... It talks about weak acoustic signals in the hive, and that the state of the bees, in general, is normal ....
