Marsh's Apiraries using Hivemind for queen bee rearing

As a part of Bee Aware Month, The Otago Daily Times published an article about Marsh's Apiaries. They're producing clover honey and honeycomb, rearing queen bees and providing pollination services.

Russel Marsh uses Hivemind to identify desirable queen bee traits:

''If there is significantly more bees [trips recorded] on one hive than the other five and they fly earlier [during lower temperatures], then we can work out the correlation and breed off the queen for those traits, and ultimately improve the
hive's work efficiency and pollination rates.''
