Hive Audio Frequency Analyzer
Listen to the internal heartbeat of your colony. Analyzes fundamental acoustic fanning frequencies, detects queenless distress cries, and identifies pre-swarm piping before visual symptoms appear.
Dominant Frequency
Acoustic Power
-24 dBColony State:
Queenright Calm Colony (Normal)
Recommended Field Action
No intervention required. Colony is calm and queenright. Proceed with scheduled bi-weekly brood frame inspections.
Colony Bio-Acoustic Benchmark Profiles
Select any profile to play calibrated acoustic frequencies, inspect clinical markers, and practice auditory diagnosis.
Queenright Calm Colony (Standard Baseline)
Steady, deep harmonic drone produced by thousands of worker bees quietly circulating air and regulating brood nest temperature (34.5°C to 35.5°C).
Queenless Distress "Roar" / Colony Cry
Elevated, shrill, restless acoustic hum with jagged frequency spikes. Workers frantically fan their wings without queen pheromone inhibition.
Pre-Swarm Fever & Virgin Queen Piping
High-energy pulsing frequency bursts accompanied by rhythmic queen "toots" and "quacks" through the comb substrate.
Defensive Guard Bee Alarm Buzz
Rapid, sharp, high-amplitude bursts emitted by guard bees and field foragers responding to intrusion, vibration, or robbing wasps.
Native Orchard Mason Bee Foraging Flight
Crisp, intermittent solitary flight tone as female Osmia lignaria navigates between fruit blossoms and nesting reed channels.
Winter Cluster Thermal Shiver (Cold Defense)
Low-amplitude, continuous, rhythmic thermal shivering hum produced by flight muscle contraction without wing movement.
Thoracic Flight Muscle Resonance
Worker bees generate acoustic signals through indirect flight muscle contraction (dorsal longitudinal and dorsoventral muscles). Harmonic resonance amplifies through wax comb cells.
QMP Pheromone Acoustic Suppression
Queen Mandibular Pheromone (QMP) keeps worker fanning stable at 100–165 Hz. In queen absence, worker agitation and fanning frequency increase within 120 minutes to 220–280 Hz.
Substrate Comb Piping Transmission
Virgin queens transmit 400–500 Hz acoustic piping pulses directly through wax combs to arrest emergence of rival queens inside unhatched queen cells prior to mating flights.
