I updated the correlation diagrams with more data and corrected a mistake in my <Heat Loss Calculation> for the wooden hive. Doesn't change the story, just shows why bees must rely on cluster behaviour to survive or they would really starve very quickly (wooden hives). It also clearly shows why the energy input is so high for wooden hives to maintain 35C. 

I will see if I can find a way to trend the correlation data (weekly intervals) for Ta Vs Heat Loss in the wooden hive. Goes from 0.2 to 0.9 (Start of brood rearing). The convergence R2 for Ta Vs Tmin & Ta Vs HT Loss in the double deep poly hive is also interesting, as the bees move up into the upper brood box.

I fixed that error a while back but just didn't have the time to fix the charts.
