Virgin Mating Flight Window Days

Screen forecast days against supplied queen-age, temperature and wind windows; eligibility does not guarantee mating flights, drone availability or fertility.

Description

A mating-flight weather screen combines queen age with temperature and wind conditions.

A mating-flight weather screen combines queen age with temperature and wind conditions. Meeting all supplied conditions indicates model eligibility, not that a flight or successful mating will occur.^[1]

Screen forecast days against supplied queen-age, temperature and wind windows; eligibility does not guarantee mating flights, drone availability or fertility.

When to use Virgin Mating Flight Window Days

Use this tool to screen forecast days against supplied queen-age, temperature and wind windows; eligibility does not guarantee mating flights, drone availability or fertility.

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 Virgin Mating Flight Window Days 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 queenAgesDays, forecastTemperaturesC, forecastWindSpeedsMPerSecond, ageWindowDays, minimumTemperatureC, maximumWindSpeedMPerSecond using the field table and calculation rules, then run the tool.
Read modelEligibleDayIndexes. 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
queenAgesDays	Queen ages days	list of number	Required
forecastTemperaturesC	Forecast temperatures c	list of number	Required
forecastWindSpeedsMPerSecond	Forecast wind speeds m per second	list of number	Required
ageWindowDays	Age window days	list of number	Required
minimumTemperatureC	Minimum temperature c	number	Required
maximumWindSpeedMPerSecond	Maximum wind speed m per second	number	Required

Pair nonnegative queen ages and wind speeds with finite forecast temperatures. Supply two ordered nonnegative age bounds, finite minimum temperature and nonnegative maximum wind. Return zero-based day indices satisfying all inclusive limits. No matches returns an empty list.

Paired lists must be nonempty and have equal lengths.

eligible = age within inclusive bounds AND temperature≥minimum AND wind≤maximum

Units, indexing, boundary conditions and exceptional cases are defined in the calculation rules above.

Output field	Meaning	Value type
modelEligibleDayIndexes	Model eligible day indexes	list of number

Limitations and assumptions

Forecast accuracy, drone availability, rain and other flight conditions are outside the screen. Bounds are caller assumptions and do not establish fertility or mating 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 Walk Away Split Timing Checker: Screen a caller walk-away development/mating timing scenario against a forage horizon; no natural queen-development constants, mating success or split recommendation is embedded. For a complementary task, use Queen Cage Candy Release Days: Extrapolate a measured candy-mass trend to a caller barrier criterion; this forecasts mass only, not actual queen release, acceptance or an instruction to open a cage.
