There's
not
a
lot
of
appiaries
situated
in
the
backyards,
at
beekeepers'
fingertips.
Nearness
is
very
important
especially
in
the
period
when
bees
pasture
begins.
But
even
in
such
nearby
appiaries,
especially
if
they
contain
large
number
of
hives,
the
scale
is
a
very
important
beekeeping
tool.
If
the
beekeepers
can
monitor
not
only
the
gain
of
weight
of
the
appiaries,
but
also
other
parameters
such
as
air
temperature
and
humidity
in
the
area,
then
they
have
a
full
range
of
data
that
enable
them
to
improve
exploitation
of
bee
colonies.
All
this
was
understood
by
Goran
Kladarin,
a
researcher
from
Croatia,
who
constructed
beekeeping
scale
APILOGER.
The
scale
measures
the
parametra
five
times
a
day
and
then
at
evenings
sends
SMS
message
to a beekeeper, informing him about the daily intake of nectar, air temperature, humidity.
It
is
important
that
we
know
what
is
happening
on
the
ground:
whether
the
entry
of
nectar
is
good
or
it
has
stopped,
or
the
intake
on
the
scale
is
negative,
due
to
raining
in
the
village
where
we
placed
apiary.
Digital
beekeeping
scales
are
not
expensive
toys
meant
to
raise
beekeepers'
rating
among
peers,
but
something
that
can
facilitate
and
improve
beekeeping,
and
even
save
beekeeping
season,
especially
in
the
years
when
the
nature
is
not
generous,
which
was
the
case
for
a
large
number
of
beekeepers
in
recent
years.
Thus,
for
example,
if
the
scale
shows
the
interruption
of
input
of
nectar
for
two
days
or
more
in
a
row,
or
if
the
scale
shows
negative
figure,
this
is
a
sign
that
the
pasture
has
stopped,
and
that
if
the
beekeeper
does
not
intervene
by
adding
sweetener
or
in
some
other
way,
the
queen will probably stop laying eggs.
