Livestock - Apiculture
LivestockAI supports beekeeping (apiculture) for honey and bee product production.
Tracking Units
Unlike other livestock, bees are tracked by:
- Colonies/Hives (not individual bees)
- Frames within hives
Products
| Product | Harvest Frequency |
|---|---|
| Honey | 2-3 times/year |
| Beeswax | With honey harvest |
| Propolis | Periodic |
| Royal jelly | Specialized |
Key Metrics
- Colony strength (frames of bees)
- Queen status (present, laying, superseded)
- Honey yield per hive
- Swarm events
Source Sizes
const beeSourceSizes = [
{ value: 'nucleus', label: 'Nucleus Colony (Nuc)' },
{ value: 'package', label: 'Package Bees' },
{ value: 'established', label: 'Established Hive' },
{ value: 'swarm', label: 'Captured Swarm' },
]
Seasonal Calendar
| Season | Activities |
|---|---|
| Spring | Colony inspection, swarm prevention |
| Summer | Honey harvest, expansion |
| Fall | Winter preparation, feeding |
| Winter | Minimal disturbance, monitoring |
Batch Lifecycle
- Establishment: New colony setup
- Building: Colony growth and comb building
- Production: Honey flow and harvest
