Not useful for cold weather measurements It's too cold to open up the hive and inspect it. And yet, it's the most important time of year to measure mite load and treat if needed. I use a screened bottom board with a white detection board under it which makes it easy to see the mites that fall. And, this is safe to use even during cold weather. However, when I scanned the whiteboard that has Varroa mites on it with the app, it came back with zero mites. Will revisit in spring...

I just started using this app with our 10 hives and it is absolutely fantastic. I really trust the mite levels it is giving me and takes so much work out of determining rate of infestation in almost real time. Just take some pictures, upload and analyze. It actually highlights the bee that has a mite on it and when you zoom in, there it is. Makes me despise varroa even more. The infestation rate calculation is so valuable. The best part, you can inspect and treat at the same time!

Thank you so much! You know I have about 100 hives and that is exactly why we developed the app to be able to help our bees selectively./Björn

Only 14 day free access before you have to subscribe! That's just 2 hive inspections to try it, when it's only got 1k downloads and no reviews!? Even if it is useful, I only have one hive, so the subscription is cost prohibitive (Apimanager, for example, allows up to 3 hives for free). Even if it appears useful, I won't be paying £30+ a year for something so unproven.

There are about 17k installations and 4k active users. The app has saved more than 5 000 kg of bees from drowning in alcohol! To save just one hive at the cost of €5 for a month could be worth a try dont you think?
