BroodMinder-T2 Digital Temperature Sensor The BroodMinder-T2 is a specialized hive monitoring tool built to track subtle changes in hive temperature with precision. Its slim, low-profile design allows it to sit directly on top of brood or honey super frames, capturing heat as it rises through the hive. With accuracy to within 1°F, it provides reliable data that helps beekeepers identify changes early and act before issues escalate. Key Features and Benefits Accurate measurement: Records hive temperature to within 1°F. Low profile design: Hermetically sealed wrapper measuring just 1/4" high for easy placement on frames. Temperature Event detection: Identifies spikes (including swarms) and switches to 1-minute sampling. Real-time alerts: With a hub, event detection can trigger email or text notifications. High-resolution recording: Captures detailed data during temperature spikes. Hive-ready placement: Designed to rest directly on top of brood or super frames. Detailed Description The BroodMinder-T2 Digital Temperature Sensor is engineered to give beekeepers accurate and actionable data on hive conditions. Its low-profile housing (1/4") is designed to sit neatly on top of brood or honey super frames, ensuring it records the natural heat created by bees as it rises. With accuracy to 1°F, the sensor allows beekeepers to observe even small shifts in hive temperature. The T2 also includes Temperature Event detection, a feature that identifies sudden spikes such as those caused by swarms. When triggered, the device automatically switches to 1-minute sampling, providing 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 greater control over hive monitoring.
