We propose the EBV (Electronic Bee-Veterinarian) method, which has the following desirable properties: (i) principled: it is based on a) diffusion equations from physics and b) control theory for feedback-loop controllers; (ii) effective: it works well on multiple, real-world time sequences, (iii) explainable: it needs only a handful of parameters (e. g., bee strength) that beekeepers can easily understand and trust, and (iv) scalable: it performs linearly in time.
