Towards a Standard Hive-Inspection Cadence

A Null Result from a Suburban Beekeeping Club's Roster Trial

A research poster from the School of Continuous Improvement runs a three-season randomised trial testing whether a suburban beekeeping club's fortnightly hive-inspection roster reduces swarm-loss rate relative to ad hoc checking. Swarm-loss rate does not differ reliably between arms, and the club's regional association has written the roster into its public-liability cover regardless of the finding.
