Revealing example of diagnostics using Apivox Smart Monitor application

 A small but rather revealing example of diagnostics using Apivox Smart Monitor application. Control of 2 families one and a half months after the purchase of the packages. The family E6 is weaker than that in E4, as the bees are infested with viral paralysis. The main honey harvest has begun. Blooming white clover. The control was carried out in the evening. This is not the best time to understand how bees work, but it is a good time to understand the results of honey collection.

Three measurements were made in each family:

1 - in General State Control mode. The diagram of the E4 family shows that work is underway with honey, despite the evening, some bees even fly. At the same time, the diagram of the E6 family shows that the family is mainly doing in-hive works. There are works with honey, but they are not the main ones. Both families have strong ventilation. The water is evaporated from nectar.

2 - in Honey Harvest Readiness Control mode. Both families work for commercial honey, but it can be seen that the graph of the E4 family is in the lowest part of the white zone. This indicates a strong trend for work related to the processing of nectar in honey supers. There are also works in E6, but they are much weaker.

3 - in Swarming Control mode. Both colonies show no swarming trend. At the same time, in a well-functioning E4 family, this can be seen  much better.
