Hive IQ
AI-powered colony health scoring
Overview
Hive IQ is your colony's health score — a single number from 0–100 that tells you how your hive is doing at a glance. The score is calculated from your most recent inspection data using five weighted factors: Queen Status (35 points), Brood Pattern (25 points), Food Stores (20 points), Temperament (10 points), and Mite Pressure (10 points).
The algorithm accounts for quick inspections — if a factor wasn't checked, it receives a neutral score rather than penalizing the colony. High mite counts (9+) trigger a 20-point penalty, and quarantine diseases like AFB/EFB override the score entirely.
Hive IQ updates automatically after every inspection. Each hive card shows a letter grade (A through F) with a color-coded indicator, helping you prioritize which colonies need attention first.

Tips & Best Practices
- 💡Log inspections regularly to keep your Hive IQ scores current and accurate.
- 💡A declining score over 2–3 inspections is a stronger signal than any single low score.
- 💡Use Hive IQ to quickly identify which hives in a large apiary need attention first.
- 💡Compare Hive IQ across your apiary to spot systemic issues vs. individual problems.
