The bee hive
Minute by minute hive weight
The figure below shows the recorded hive weight on a minute by minute basis
Hive temperature
The figure below will eventually show the recorded temperature in the hive - it also shows the temperature outside. (Note internal data is not currently bee hive data. It is from an open greenhouse in UK).
Soil moisture content
The next graph shows the output from a very simple soil moisture sensor in a chilli pot in the greenhouse. The idea is ultimately to develop an evaporo-transpiration model which will allow the need for watering to be predicted from weather data and watering history alone.
System battery voltage
The electric hive is powered by a rechargeable battery, charged by a pair of solar cells (PV panels). The next graph shows the battery voltage. The system is indoors at the moment so the PV panels are not contributing anything useful.
