So far, the hive seems to have gained around 2lbs today! Will see how it goes by evening, but it's following the general pattern i expected:
[update! looks like almost 3lbs]
* morning: hive weighs less as foraging bees leave
* 11am-3pm hive gets heavier during peak foraging hours
the little ups and downs are probably artifacts of the imperfect temperature compensation, and its affinity for even numbered values. There's probably a mathy way to fix some of that, but it'll have to be post-processed. Maybe i'll just have to get a real temperature sensor installed.
the way it gets lighter in the morning may just be a compensation artifact, and may indicate that the foraging bees really don't weigh that much.
