Hi all, welcome to the Apis Hive 2.75 month update. This update is slightly delay as I was attending the Hive Creator Days meetup at Graz last week. More on that in a minute.

If you're new to Apis Hive and want to find out more about this program, please checkout out https://apishive.blog/ and our introduction post.
Users
A total of 245 users have logged onto the Apis Hive website, and on average over 50 users log in every day to claim their Daily Bee drop.
Verified active users
36 users are verified on the Apis Hive program meaning their account fits all the program criteria and can claim Honey Pots.

Apis in waiting
Some users may not fit one of the program criteria, the main reasons are normally KE, delegation and self voting. There are 47 of these accounts. It could be that some of these users are not aware of the program criteria. Or they are not aware that they're on the Apis Hive program, ie they logged in but don't really understand what the program is about. These accounts are still able to claim and upgrade the assets, but are not able to claim any Honey Pots. You can see some of these users on the Apis in waiting leaderboard if they have logged on in the past two weeks.
Banned users
About one half of users who have logged into the Apis Hive website are excluded from the program due to their accounts not fitting many of the program criteria or exceed the limit by a big margin.
Honey Pots
Since we started, 30 users have claimed 236 Honey Pots between them. In total Apis Hive has delegated 9090HP to these users. Unfortunately we have had to undelegate to a few users this week and direct the support to some other users.
19 users have already claimed the maximum 10 Honey pots and joined the prestigious AHAH - Apis Hive Achiever Hub. Making it to AHAH doesn't mean it's the end of the journey for these users. You can see many are still active on Apis Hive, and are now claiming assets to support other users.
Project updates for the month
Last week, I @livinguktaiwan attended a meet up at Graz and presented the project to the audience. There's a live stream available, and you can watch my presentation (and other presentations for the day) here, starting from 05:32.

The other exciting project update I want to share with everyone is our new gifting feature. Gifting Nectar and Hive Hub has always been an important feature of Apis Hive, and I know this has been very popular with the users. I wanted to take this one stage further and drop more gifts to users for them to gift to others.
All users who are not banned will get 3 gift drops when they log in each day. These will last for 24 hours and can be gifted to other unbanned users. Received gifts will also last for 24 hours. The gift drops are random and include a selection of items. They have no value other than as a fun and caring way to interact with your friends on Apis Hive. That, in my opinion is priceless. Next time you login to Apis Hive, remember to scroll down to the bottom of your dashboard to see what gift drops you have, and if you have received gifts from anybody else.
Criteria
Last and not the least, we have talked a lot about the program criteria, and that underlies how we operate. At first glance, it may seem like a lot of requirements, but if you read into it, it is some of the best practices to build your account on Hive in the long run.
We will remind users of the program criteria, but it is entirely up to them on whether they want to make any changes to their account to become verified active users. Since we started, some users have transferred HP into their account, increasing their stake and reducing their KE. Some have pulled back delegations to below the threshold, and others have stopped self voting.
We appreciate users recognising the value of Apis Hive and making changes to their account accordingly, and hope that you can join us if you are looking for more support to build your future on Hive.

That sounds like a fantastic update.
Expanding the gifting feature to include more options for users to share with others will definitely enhance the experience and bring more joy to the community💪

I already congratulated the project leader, but here again congratz for the presentation! I hope that new members join this amazing project.
Nice update I will check it out as soon as possible =)
Thanks for your continuous support @gwajnberg !
Congratulations on this great programme. I also have to say that based on the gifts I received today I think I'm getting a message of something I should do: get on a train, go somewhere, buy ice cream and then settle down to watch a movie on a couch.
🤣
Your friends may be sending a lot of hidden messages to you 😉

Hello? First I wanna thank you for the project, it is a really a great way to build our Hive account, and also to help others to do it.
The gifts in the new update are beautiful, and I wish that it could be given even to Hive users that aren't in the program, I mean, like a badge into the Hive buzz or in the Hive profile :)

Use !LADY command to share LOH! More details available in this post.
Gifting to users not on the program will be technically difficult, hopefully they will see the benefits and join us
Yeah, it's fine. There are no HP limit right?
The project has limited HP to delegate out and the priority is to support smaller accounts. It a user has a lot of HP, they would have lower priority for delegations
Ok, 🆗 thanks for your reply 😊

Such a fun update! I tried it out today and I must say, it's a lovely initiative to enable gifting solely for the joy of giving. 💛
So glad you like it @alstonsjournal, we figured it's nice to do things to bring happiness and joy to people, hopefully we've achieved that
Oh yes, target achieved!
Happy to be part of this process. Ah, I'm watching the video. You're a beautiful woman. I wish you much success, and especially success to Apis.
Thank you for your lovely words @cositav and we're glad you are on board with us
how long without selfvote for be elegible?
As long as the self vote has and will stop, that is fine. Currently the only thing that is stopping you from claiming Honey Pots is your delegation level.
You know that they're a lot. LOL
I have gone through the requirement list and probably those new users are doing some if not all of the requirements before joining.
If a user is committed to build a long term future on Hive, they will be doing all those things anyway, so it will be a non brainer for them
I agree..! Plus, I think it only make sense to try and build something if one is spending sometime on it.
How I can Check that I meet the criteria of getting Honey pot or not meeting the criteria?
I Have low Hive power (30HP) that is why i am finding delegation to comment on others posts and write own post daily.
I don't have 80HP to claim 2nd Honey pot.
As mentioned in the post above, you can find out everything about the program objectives and criteria on our website.
