Script to manipulate data recorded from broodminder V3 hive scales
This project was created as an example to demonstrate how we can use the raw hive scale data to plot graphs and make statistical comparisons.
In the "Scales Data" folder you find all the scales raw data used downloaded from https://mybroodminder.com/ in 2022. This data can be used to follow the steps and see the workflow.
To use your data, add your ".csv" files downloaded from the broodminder website in the folder "Scales Data". Import the new data and follow the steps.
