+## 🐝 Apiarist
+
+An offline AI hive frame inspector for backyard beekeepers. Built in
+10 days for the [Build Small Hackathon](https://huggingface.co/build-small-hackathon).
+
+### The problem
+
+Frank — a beekeeper down the road — keeps 14 hives and inspects each
+weekend by hand. Last summer he lost four colonies to queen failures
+he didn't spot in time. Apiarist is the assistant he should have had:
+fast, focused, runs on a laptop in a field, never sends his hive data
+anywhere.
+
+### How it works
+
+Two models, two jobs:
+
+- **YOLOv8s, custom-trained** (22 MB) — finds bees, drones, queens, and
+  varroa mites with bounding boxes. CPU-fast.
+- **Qwen2.5-VL-3B-Instruct** — takes the image + YOLO detection counts
+  and writes a narrative inspection report. Runs on ZeroGPU.
+
+Together: structured detection + narrative report in ~5 seconds, no
+internet required.
+
+### What's in the box
+
+- 🔍 **Inspect** — upload a frame, get an annotated image + report
+- 📋 **Hives** — registry, per-hive inspection history, weekly PDF reports
+- ⚖️ **Compare** — Apiarist vs raw generalist VLM, side-by-side
+- 📓 SQLite persistence for the whole apiary

+# Apiarist Honey-Bee Detector (YOLOv8s)
+
+A custom-trained **YOLOv8s** specialist detector for honeycomb frame
+inspection. Built as part of [Apiarist](https://huggingface.co/spaces/build-small-hackathon/Apiarist) — a fully-offline AI hive inspector for
+backyard beekeepers, made for the
+[Build Small Hackathon](https://huggingface.co/build-small-hackathon).
+
+## Classes
+
+Trained on the [hendricks_ricky bee-project](https://universe.roboflow.com/hendricks_ricky-hotmail-de/bee-project) dataset
+(3,308 labeled images, including 892 queen-bee examples). Four classes:
+
+- `Queen` — queen bee (larger, elongated abdomen)
+- `Worker` — worker / forager bees (the majority class)
+- `Drone` — male / drone bees
+- `Varroa` — varroa destructor mites visible on bees or comb
+
+## Usage
+
+```python
+from ultralytics import YOLO
+from PIL import Image
+
+model = YOLO("honey_bee_detector.pt")
+results = model(Image.open("hive_frame.jpg"), conf=0.10, device="cpu")
+for box in results[0].boxes:
+    cls = model.names[int(box.cls.item())]
+    conf = float(box.conf.item())
+    print(f"{cls}: {conf:.0%}")
+```
+
+Recommended per-class confidence thresholds (tuned empirically on real
+frame photos):
+
+```python
+PER_CLASS_CONF = {
+    "Worker": 0.25,
+    "Drone":  0.55,  # higher — drones false-positive on fingers, shadows
+    "Varroa": 0.30,  # mites are small
+    "Queen":  0.15,  # lower — try harder to find her
+}
+```
+
+## Training
+
+- Base weights: `yolov8s.pt`
+- Epochs: 60
+- Image size: 640×640
+- Batch size: 32
+- Hardware: 1× NVIDIA T4 (Modal)
+- Cost: ~$0.40 of free hackathon credit
+
+## Limitations
+
+The training set includes ~892 queen images, which is far more than the
+typical bee-detection dataset but still limited compared to the
+millions of bees in worker class. Queen detection precision is
+moderate — when the model labels a queen, verify visually. Use as a
+**candidate flag**, not as ground truth.
+
+Varroa mite detection works on close-up frames where mites are visible
+on the dorsal side of bees or in cells, but will miss mites hidden
+under abdomens.
