Detailed Description
The BroodMinder-T2 gives you accurate, actionable data on hive conditions. Its low-profile housing (1/4") sits neatly on top of brood or honey super frames, recording the natural heat bees create as it rises.
With accuracy to 1°F, you can observe even small shifts in hive temperature. The T2 also includes Temperature Event detection, which identifies sudden spikes such as those caused by swarms. When triggered, the device automatically switches to 1-minute sampling for a high-resolution record of the event.
When paired with a BroodMinder hub, these events can also generate email or text notifications, giving you immediate updates and more control over hive monitoring.
