Pollination Hive Strength Grading Scorer
Audit supplied pollination-strength contract criteria with explicit frame/brood/queen reason bits; no standardized grade, health certification or crop pollination guarantee.
Description
A pollination-strength policy can require covered frames, brood area and a present queen simultaneously.
A pollination-strength policy can require covered frames, brood area and a present queen simultaneously. Reason bits show which supplied conditions were unmet instead of collapsing them into an unexplained grade.1
Audit supplied pollination-strength contract criteria with explicit frame/brood/queen reason bits; no standardized grade, health certification or crop pollination guarantee.
When to use Pollination Hive Strength Grading Scorer
Use this tool to audit supplied pollination-strength contract criteria with explicit frame/brood/queen reason bits; no standardized grade, health certification or crop pollination guarantee.
Prepare the hive, sample or operating measurements and any supplied target values. Confirm units, timing and whether counts or masses refer to the same population or batch.
How to use Pollination Hive Strength Grading Scorer and understand its results
- Prepare the hive, sample or operating measurements and any supplied target values. Confirm units, timing and whether counts or masses refer to the same population or batch.
- Enter beeCoveredFrameCounts, broodAreasCm2, queenPresentFlags, minimumCoveredFrames, minimumBroodAreaCm2 using the field table and calculation rules, then run the tool.
- Read callerStrengthQualifiedFlags, unmetCriterionBitMasks. The explanation below defines the units, signs, ordering and any flags or placeholder values.
- If the tool reports an input issue, correct the values and run it again. Apply the stated assumptions when interpreting a successfully returned result.
| Input field | Meaning | Value type; see rules below | Requirement |
|---|---|---|---|
| beeCoveredFrameCounts | Bee covered frame counts | list of number | Required |
| broodAreasCm2 | Brood areas cm2 | list of number | Required |
| queenPresentFlags | Queen present flags | list of number | Required |
| minimumCoveredFrames | Minimum covered frames | integer | Required |
| minimumBroodAreaCm2 | Minimum brood area cm2 | number | Required |
Pair nonnegative integer covered-frame counts, nonnegative brood areas in cm² and binary queen flags. Supply nonnegative minimum frames and area. Equality meets each minimum. Return qualified binary flags and masks, with multiple failed criteria represented by the sum of their bits.
Paired lists must be nonempty and have equal lengths.
mask = 1 if frames deficient + 2 if brood deficient + 4 if queen absent; qualified = mask=0 Units, indexing, boundary conditions and exceptional cases are defined in the calculation rules above.
| Output field | Meaning | Value type |
|---|---|---|
| callerStrengthQualifiedFlags | Caller strength qualified flags | list of number |
| unmetCriterionBitMasks | Unmet criterion bit masks | list of number |

}Limitations and assumptions
Criteria are caller contract policy rather than a standardized grade. Observations do not certify colony health, queen performance or crop pollination success.
Numeric inputs must be finite. Follow the calculation-specific rules for overflow, underflow and exceptional cases. Numeric lists are limited to 100,000 entries; the rules above may require smaller limits. Missing required fields, extra fields, wrong value types and violations of the calculation rules are input errors.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Use Sealed Brood Area Population Estimate: Estimate sealed cells and expected viable emergence from disjoint measured brood areas and caller cell-density/viability calibration; not a fixed frame population lookup. For a complementary task, use Brood Pattern Solidity Score Percent: Measure occupancy and largest four-neighbor empty patch inside a recorded brood-cell grid; excluded cells do not enter the denominator and no queen-health or disease diagnosis is invented.
