Do not accept the result as 100% probability. To get more accurate results it is important then recording to reduce side-effects sound which caused by vehicles, animals humans and natural phenomena (like rain, thunder, etc.). If the environment is very noisy, the accuracy of results can be very low. Then it is recommended to wait until these noises disappear. Therefore, measurements must be made several times to obtain more accurate results. The app data and results are advisory in nature, so we are not responsible for the loss incurred because of the decisions and actions you have taken.

Yes, you can but it will be not very comfortable to put your smartphone and hold near the entrance of beehive, moreover the results will be not very accurate so we do not recommend this method.
The external microphone needs to be omnidirectional, frequency range 100Hz – 3000 Hz, sensitivity more than -45dB, if your microphone does not have TRRS jack then you need buy adapter from TRS female to TRRS male, for more information download our PDF file with requirements .
To unlock more parameters you need to buy full version of Beegnostic app at Google Play .
Sometimes the microphone is pointed to the wrong side of hive where is no bees, or bees buzzing is lower than usually, so to get best results it is recommended to use microphone amplifier. More information download our PDF file with requirements .
