R Documentation

Honeybee colony

Description

An object holding honeybee colony

Usage

isColony(x)

## S4 method for signature 'Colony'
show(object)

## S4 method for signature 'ColonyOrNULL'
c(x, ...)

Arguments

`x`	`Colony-class`
`object`	`Colony-class`
`...`	`NULL`, `Colony-class`, or `MultiColony-class`

Value

Colony-class or MultiColony-class

Functions

isColony(): Test if x is a Colony class object
show(Colony): Show colony object
c(ColonyOrNULL): Combine multiple colony objects

Slots

id: integer, unique ID of the colony
location: numeric, location of the colony (x, y)
queen: Pop-class, the queen of the colony (we use its misc slot for queen's age and drones (fathers) she mated with)
virginQueens: Pop-class, virgin queens of the colony
drones: Pop-class, drones of the colony
workers: Pop-class, workers of the colony
split: logical, has colony split
swarm: logical, has colony swarmed
supersedure: logical, has colony superseded
collapse: logical, has colony collapsed
production: logical, is colony productive
misc: list, available for storing extra information about the colony

Examples

founderGenomes <- quickHaplo(nInd = 4, nChr = 1, segSites = 100)
SP <- SimParamBee$new(founderGenomes)

basePop <- createVirginQueens(founderGenomes)

drones <- createDrones(x = basePop[1], nInd = 1000)
droneGroups <- pullDroneGroupsFromDCA(drones, n = 10, nDrones = nFathersPoisson)
colony1 <- createColony(x = basePop[2])
colony1 <- cross(colony1, drones = droneGroups[[1]])
colony2 <- createColony(x = basePop[3])
colony2 <- cross(colony2, drones = droneGroups[[2]])
colony3 <- createColony(x = basePop[4])
colony3 <- cross(colony3, drones = droneGroups[[3]])

colony1
show(colony1)
is(colony1)
isColony(colony1)

apiary <- c(colony1, colony2)
is(apiary)
isMultiColony(apiary)

c(apiary, colony3)
c(colony3, apiary)
