Use of Brood Control mode in 2 hives with well known state of the bees.

A short, but very revealing test was conducted during  our visit to experimental apiary. We have an E-1 family in an experimental hive,  which has 6-7  frames of brood of different ages. And the family 8-2, from which we took away defective queen, which lost the ability to lay eggs, and gave a frame with a small amount of brood so that they could rear a new queen ... The weather is pretty cool - at night +2-3C, in daytime +6-8C ... Of course, everyone understands that in the hive E-1 on 7 frames there are a lot of brood that needs to be heated! At the same time, one frame of already-sealed brood in the hive 8-2 does not require special heating. The metabolic heat of the bees sitting on this frame is enough ....



What will Apivox Smart Monitor show in the Brood Control mode? It seems that the diagnosis will be expected :)))   (Sorry for the photo in one of the smartphones, the battery is low) Of course, the red line on the screen is the result of the diagnostic of the hive E-1 (Diagnostics: intensive brood care), the white line on the screen of another smartphone is the result of diagnostic of the hive 8-2 (Diagnostics: quantity of brood is insignificant).

Unambiguous correspondence of the state of the family and diagnosis!
