The daily measurement of hive weight provides useful insight into the condition and activities of the honey bee colony, the timing of the honey bee nectar flow (HBNF), and the interaction of the bees with their environment. A scale hive record will give the beekeeper valuable information on the current status of the colony, when the nectar flow is on, and when it is over. Collection of such records is a very useful educational exercise for the beekeeper and for local clubs and associations.
