Issues
Unresolved quality issues for bee counter data
  1. Due to the missing description of the data it is unclear what the time provided with the date in the raw data refers to. The data provider is requested to make this information available.
  2. It is unclear, whether the number of bees entering or leaving the beehive reported in the raw data refer to the date provided in column date or to the previous day, given that the time provided with the date (either 01:00 or 02:00) is often used as transmission time for remote devices. The data provider is requested to make this information available.
  3. Extreme outliers have been found in the number of bees entering and exiting the hive, which should be further investigated by the data provider.
