Multilangual software now in new edition!
 
        The Bidata software is meant for practical beekeeping and is traded by EDBi, which is a foundation of  EDB interested beekeepers with a wish of handling their beekeeping data  on a computer. EDBi was founded 1986 with the purpose of developing a practical hivenote software suitable for the Danish beekeeping. To serve this purpose I have been programming a  software package for the last 9 years. In the meantime the platform has changed from pure DOS to windows so I have stopped the developing of a DOS based software and is concentrating developing to windows 3.1+ and win95/NT. The concept for the 'Bidata' is put up by input from 
practical beekeepers and the national Danish Beekeeper Foundation (DBF). It gives some freedom to the beekeeper but will also limited the data input into a necessary amount with the purpose of standardisation of data, making it possible for beekeepers to cooperage in the effort of making the queens as productive as possible.
 
The function of the programme is based on notes taken in the bee yard and transferred into the programme. When data have been entered, you will be able to calculate an Index on the queens, making it easy to compare  the queens within a bee yard. You will also be able to compare queen sisters, and all together you will get a tool to help you to judge and select the queens, you want to go on with in your beekeeping.
 
To make it easy to compare data, there is a graphical function build in where you e.g. Is able to see the honey harvest in pillar representation and also see it in 3D. This graphical screen can be copied to the clipboard and transferred in to a document like you see here :
 
Picture omitted.
 
The data you judge from is the following :
 
Honey harvest
aggressively
swarm tendency
steadiness
sickness
 
and you enter the data into a spreadsheet like window :
 
Picture Omitted.
 
the cheapest way to get the software is to  download it from my homepage  
http://home4.inet.tele.dk/apimo/download.htm. There you can get the software you want.
 
The software you are getting is a Three month demo and can be registered by paying the register fee to EDBi. The instructions to this you will find in the program.
