If I took a modern and cheap non-contact test pen (Non-Contact Voltage Detector) that is now commonly available in the market, would it cause a reaction? Are the sensors in the hive filtered from oscillations? I have it and I was very surprised by its sensitivity to static electricity, so just rub the end of the pen on a textile surface and the tester reacts.
If not, then any attempt to do some temperature survey is biased, which would mean unnecessary work.
The reaction of bee biosensors is very sensitive and when looking at hive monitoring I am very skeptical from this point of view due to interference. The measurement results are logically very distorted in the event of interference.
