TESTIMONIAL
Project Participants
Created by and for the beekeepers
« As you can imagine, the idea of creating an application was born after a day of counting. The rapid evolution of technology has been a determining factor and leaves a lot of room for improvement. By using the application, you help us to improve it. »
Alain Bugnon
Founder of ApizoomA project resulting from research
« As a research partner, I was seduced by this project, which deals with bees and ecological issues. After the first meeting with Alain, I returned with two hives. »

Frequent questions
How to use the app ?
The first steps for using the experimental version are as follows:
∙ Download the free trial version of the APP
∙ Let us guide you during the first use and see our presentation videos
∙ When the application is set up, take a picture of the board
∙ Send the pictures from our web page (menu button scan) or from the application if the pictures are available on the smartphone
∙ View the results from the APP
Instructions for use
The results are highly dependent on the conditions of use. We recommend a use following these 5 basic rules:
∙ Use a quality camera. The minimum criteria are a resolution of 24 Mpx and a 1 inch sensor.
∙ Take pictures during the day, in the shade or without direct sunlight to avoid casting shadows on the board.
∙ Take the picture at the right perpendicular of the board (90 degrees). Activating the grid allows you to check that the edges of the board are parallel.
∙ Avoid taking pictures with an abundant accumulation of waste. The ideal period is 2-3 days, but it varies depending on the strength and activity of the swarm. The application should last a maximum of 5 days.
∙ Use a smooth and clear greased background, preferably white. See also our video instructions for use.
Why an experimental version with a camera?
In the future, the application is planned with the use of a smartphone with the option of using a camera. Currently, the quality of the photo sensors on smartphones is insufficient to guarantee satisfactory results. We have decided to offer this option in an experimental version. It allows us to train the detection model to be ready when the quality of the photos is satisfactory.
How will Apizoom evolve?
Besides the service, the free experimental version aims to improve the detection model and to prepare the next versions. When the photo quality of the smartphones will be sufficient, we will adapt the application to be usable only with the smartphone. This version will be paid for as an annual subscription, but a free version for a limited number of scans will be offered. It will allow you to access the data obtained with the experimental version.
