ControlsTemperature slider (15-45 deg C) and humidity slider (10-95% RH) drive a live Temperature-Humidity Index calculation; Shade cloth toggle adds overhead shading and cools the modelled hive by roughly 4 THI; Ventilation toggle cracks the hive lid and cools it by roughly 3 THI. Bearding bee count and stress tier update in real time from the combined index.
