BroodMinder Citizen Science Kit
The BroodMinder Citizen Science Kit is designed for beekeepers who want to contribute meaningful hive data to the global beekeeping community. This comprehensive package includes three BroodMinder devices that measure and record essential colony metrics, all while allowing users to compare data with other BroodMinder-equipped hives on BeeCounted.org.
What’s Included
- BroodMinder-TH2SM – Placed on top of the upper brood box to measure temperature and humidity.
- BroodMinder-T2SM – Positioned on top of the lower brood box to track temperature.
- BroodMinder-W – Sits underneath the hive to record weight fluctuations.
Key Features & Benefits
- High-Resolution Event Detection: All BroodMinder-T2 and BroodMinder-TH2 devices include Temperature Event Detection, which triggers 1-minute sampling during sudden spikes—such as a swarm—providing detailed insights into critical moments in hive life. When used with a BroodMinder hub, this feature can generate email or text alerts.
- Real-Time Comparisons: Data uploads to BeeCounted.org allow side-by-side comparisons with other hives, supporting citizen science research and community learning.
- Comprehensive Monitoring: By tracking temperature, humidity, and weight, beekeepers gain a complete picture of hive health, from brood rearing conditions to honey flow.
- Easy Installation: Simply place each device in its recommended location, connect them to MyBroodMinder.com, and start collecting data. For more information, watch the installation video.
Who Can Benefit?
- Backyard Hobbyists seeking to understand hive trends and share insights with fellow beekeepers.
- Research Institutions using comparative data to improve colony management techniques.
- Commercial Apiaries monitoring large numbers of hives with minimal hassle.
With the BroodMinder Citizen Science Kit, every beekeeper can join a global community dedicated to safeguarding pollinators. By collecting and sharing hive data, beekeepers play a vital role in advancing honey bee research and promoting healthier colonies worldwide.
