๐Ÿš Ventilation control

Problemโ€‹

Hives without good ventilation tend to get high humidity, mold and colony collapse

At hot ๐Ÿ”…weather, bees tend to do ventilating themselves and waste some bee worker resources

Suggested solutionโ€‹

  • Related to Hive heating feature, we could keep hive internals at constant 32-35.5 C
  • Add a fan on the bottom of the hive that would increase air flow when its too hot ๐Ÿ”…
  • We probably should NOT run a fan if its too cold, otherwise bees can get chilled brood
  • Get data from Humidity monitoring
    • Basically if relative humidity is > 90%, turn on the fan
    • Allow user to set min humidity level at which point fan should turn on
    • Allow user to set fan speed
