Bees actively manage the air quality within their hives

Monitoring CO2 levels inside the hive became a priority for me because elevated levels can signal issues like overcrowding or poor ventilation, which can stress the colony. I needed to select a CO2 sensor compact enough to fit within the hive's "bee space" while also maintaining low power consumption and high sensitivity. Getting accurate CO2 measurements is critical to allowing me to respond quickly to potential issues and ensuring my colony remains healthy and productive.
