每小时的重量数据，从4个蜂箱放置在平衡连接到数据记录器，分为两个独立的部分：（1）每日运行平均值和（2）去趋势的重量，通过从原始数据减去运行平均值。每周的变化，运行的平均重量，WCRAW，与食品商店的变化，但不是成人或育雏重量。去除趋势的重量显示每日波动，由于水和觅食蜜蜂的运动，并使用正弦曲线，适合所有每周的子集建模。成人和育雏人口，独立测量，通过公布的人均消费率表示为殖民地消费率，这些消费率与正弦振幅。Ampliferms更敏感的蜂箱活动比WCRAW和不像WCRAW检测到高活性时，觅食成功被掩盖高消费估计食物存储变化与WCRAW和殖民地消费幅度揭示了蜂箱的增长和活动，而不打扰蜜蜂。
Hourly weight data, from 4 honey bee hives placed on balances linked to dataloggers, were divided into two independent parts: (1) daily running average and (2) detrended weights, obtained by subtracting the running average from raw data. Weekly changes in running average weights, WCRAW, were correlated with food store changes but not adult or brood weights. Detrended weights showed daily fluctuation due to water and foraging bee movement and were modeled using sine curves, which fit all weekly subsets. Adult and brood populations, measured independently, were expressed as colony consumption rates via published per capita rates, and those consumption rates were correlated with sine amplitudes. Amplitudes were more sensitive to hive activity than WCRAW and unlike WCRAW detected high activity when foraging success was masked by high consumption Estimating food store changes withWCRAWand colony consumption with amplitudes reveals hive growth and activity without disturbing bees.
