What the picker changes
  • Top topics digest — the cards score the selected period against the prior 4 weeks.
  • 12-week heatmap & outlet matrix — show the 12 weeks ending at the selected week (they slide back with the picker, they aren’t a fixed snapshot).
  • Per-topic volume / alias drift — same 12-week trailing window, anchored on the selected period.
  • Coverage gap quadrant — scores the selected period against the 12 weeks before it (not including it).
  • Anomaly cards — only show alerts the detector fired during the selected period. Quiet weeks legitimately show none.
What stays as-is
  • Outlet orientation strip / lean colours — context-only, drawn from the last 12 weeks of activity regardless.
  • Co-occurrence graph — recent-activity anchored, not picker-driven.
  • Source & topic profiles — all-time data for the topic; the picker doesn’t affect them.
Rolling 7 days is a sliding live window for “current vibes”; switch to Weekly to compare specific weeks side-by-side.

  • Mainly Varroa, also AFB as well we've got a very good agency that do some great work on the American fell brood. Varroa is also rife and I just encourage every beekeeper to make sure that they're looking after their hives as best they can. Of course when we had the peak honey times Jamie we had about a million hives that's now about 500,000 so it's dropped back not because of. any animal welfare biosecurity issues it's more because of just economic returns haven't been there but we are seeing some green shoots and some optimistic times ahead for honey producers and one of those is India Big opportunities for Manuka into a massive market, their first time that honey's been included in a free trade agreement and as part of our corporation we're also going to be helping them with their beekeeping practices because we've got a lot of know-how in this space, so exciting times ahead.
