Colony Intelligence

Bee Colony Health Monitor

A healthy colony today can collapse in six weeks without the right tracking. SunnyBee monitors every signal — from brood pattern trends to varroa levels — and surfaces issues before they become emergencies.

Health Score per Hive

Every inspection contributes to a running health score (0–100) for each hive, calculated from brood quality, queen performance, population, and pest pressure. Instantly see which hives are thriving and which need attention.

📈

Trend Detection

A single inspection is a snapshot. Three inspections become a trend. SunnyBee shows you whether a colony is improving, stable, or declining across your full inspection history.

🚨

Automatic Swarm Alerts

Queen cells recorded during inspection trigger an URGENT 72-hour task and a push notification immediately. Swarming does not wait — neither does SunnyBee.

🥚

Biological Cycle Tracking

Log new eggs and SunnyBee creates Day 9 (capping) and Day 21 (emergence) tasks automatically. The colony's biology drives your calendar.

🌡️

Morning Weather Alerts

Every morning at 6:00, SunnyBee sends a push notification for any weather event that affects your apiary — frost, extreme heat, heavy rain, strong wind. Know before you go.

🧬

Genetic Lineage

Track the mother-daughter queen relationship across splits. SunnyBee's genetic tree shows you which queen lines produce the best colony performance year over year.

Questions About Colony Health Monitoring

What does the SunnyBee health score measure?

The health score aggregates brood pattern quality, queen presence and productivity, estimated population, honey store levels, and recent varroa mite test results into a single 0–100 score. Higher is healthier.

How are swarm alerts triggered?

When you record queen cells as 'swarm type' or 'emergency type' during an inspection, SunnyBee instantly creates an URGENT task with a 72-hour deadline and sends a push notification to your phone.

Can I monitor multiple apiaries in one place?

Yes. The dashboard shows an overview of all hives across all your apiaries — colour-coded by health status. Tap any hive for detailed history.

Does SunnyBee alert me if I haven't inspected for too long?

Yes. If an active hive has not been inspected in 14 days during the active season, SunnyBee sends a gentle reminder — because uninspected hives are invisible hives.
