Hive-count arithmetic
Turn entered hive, frame, and occupied-frame counts into transparent arithmetic without diagnosing colony condition.
Verify safety, colony condition, local guidance, and regulations before acting.
The calculator multiplies entered hives by frames per hive and compares occupied frames with the total. It does not assess health, queen status, brood, pests, or readiness.
Four hives with ten frames create 40 frames. Seven occupied frames per hive displays a 70% occupancy figure.
