kg or weight for honey harvest, such as heavy or light. and using supers,

This
is a picture of the filter facility which allows ultimate filtering of
data .
This
is the operators you can chose from.
Here
is how you can enter what to filter on e.g. Your initials or the staff members
name.
The filter is very powerful and you can filter on nearly every bit of data. You can choose to put the filtered records on the Pam Handheld computer to Take with you in the bee yard so if you have 3000 hives you can filter out just those you need to handle.
The query builder is much more powerful!
The Query builder allows you to build your own queries without needing to
understand the database design or table relationships. You describe your queries
by selecting plain English (or any other language) terms.
During query building is shown long field descriptions instead of actual field
names, operators spelled out (e.g. "is equal to") rather than
mathematical symbols and field value descriptions (e.g. "MasterCard")
rather than actual values ("MC").
The Query builder does not require you to know which fields are in what
table. That is, when building a query, You browses through a field list that can
contain fields from multiple tables.
The
term "Field" in the Query builder is not the same as the
field in database table. Each field corresponds with the database table field,
but it has also additional parameters like Display Name (Caption), list of
available conditional operators and the editor type. The list of fields is the
global list for the database. Each field corresponds to the some entity of the
real world.
Working with database structure
Which fields are shown and how they are presented to you is determined by
special data dictionary customized by Structure Editor. 
Structure
Editor allows you to specify field descriptions, captions, editing masks, list
of available operations and list for available values. You can maintain multiple
data dictionaries and switch between them . Note that each data dictionary
can contain multiple related database tables.
here is an example from a Demo software.
Bidata has now the above facility to Visual build queries.
