Appendix A: XML Schema Document for The Bee Corp’s Method of Hive Strength Assessment for Pollination Effectiveness

Abstract

To support the goal of Apimondia’s Bee Data Standardization Group to build a global standard for data related to bees and beekeeping The Bee Corp is sharing their internal standards to assess pollination effectiveness. Data standards presented in this report are used internally for measuring the effectiveness of beehives for crop pollination. The data provided includes output data that is shared with Bee Corp’s users. This is not a statement on data shared by the Bee Corp—this is simply the data standard used internally by the Bee Corp.
