Honey bee colonies, which are essential for pollinating over $15 billion in U.S. crops annually, are collapsing at alarming rates. This poses a direct threat to national food security and economic stability. Currently, data on colony loss is a lagging indicator, meaning stakeholders can only react after a collapse has already occurred. Our objective is to create a model that predicts hive health (healthy/unhealthy) using standardised definition of "hive health" as established in recent research (Lower et al., 2024) and highly localised weather data. This model provides a more immediate, actionable tool for beekeepers and serves as a more solid foundation for eventually understanding the broader, national-level crisis.
