The model simulates the dynamics of a honey bee colony and its responses to various environmental stressors. The evaluation of <i>Apis</i>RAM.03 focused on two main parts: assessing the alignment between the conceptual and formal model's implementation in software and testing the model's suitability for the regulatory risk assessment of pesticides. The evaluation included a series of tests to determine the robustness and accuracy of the model predictions. The evaluation concludes that <i>Apis</i>RAM aligns satisfactorily with the conceptual model but requires documentation of recent updates, systematic code verification, and validation by empirical data. Software maturity limits its current usability. While <i>Apis</i>RAM.03 can operate on dynamic landscapes, it is not yet ready for regulatory risk assessment.
