	Monitoring the honeybee hives' food supply is crucial in beekeeping. Firstly, by harvesting honey we are removing their food supply, which we need to substitute with a different food source, usually a sugar solution and secondly the amount of space they have available for brood and honey/pollen storage influences their behaviour as a colony. For example swarming behaviour is influenced and can thus be influenced by the beekeeper through regulation of the amount of available space in the hive.
