My wife said I should pick up a hobby instead of sitting around doing nothing, so I picked up meditation

Nice. Do you two have any common hobbies? Jmac & I have a few hobbies we do together & enjoy. Bee keeping & now @weatherxm geeks. Both low effort more learning than doing. Pretty awesome to have a partner that’s at the same level of knowledge going into a hobby. all the best with 🧎

BTW, I was thinking about the combo. Beekeeping + WeatherXM. How do we bring them together?

I don’t. At one point I was going to install a flight counter at the hive entrances but that idea petered out. @bluclaat might have some ideas

I'm sure that temperature, days since last rainfall, wind play their part in beekeeping. Maybe not domestic, if you have the hives close and you can check them regularly, but I'd like to know if there is a need for specialized weather info/services that pros may want.

One thing that comes to mind is how many days rainfall; bees come out on clearing flights to have a poo on the wing, but not when its raining (even in the 'off season'). They can hold it for weeks but the longer they hold it the more prone they are to infection. Also means in a wet summer they cant get out enough to collect pollen, can end up with low stores in the winter.

There are very few pros from what I’ve seen & anyone above a hobbiest isn’t making bank if you will. The almond growers buying the bees for pollination may be a better customer to target but I’m not sure how much flexibility they have or what they would do differently w the info. It doesn’t land for me as low hanging fruit or nuts
