Your apiary is in solid spring condition with all three active hives maintaining healthy brood nest temperatures (34–35°C) and normal acoustic/vibrational patterns for early April. The cool outdoor conditions (11.3°C) are typical for this time of year, and your hives are thermoregulating well. Monitor Hive #1 (node_44812) for its elevated bVOC and eCO2 levels, which warrant a close inspection this week to rule out early disease or moisture stress.

node_44812 warning Score: 64/100📋 Overall Health
Your Hive #1 (new) shows healthy brood nest temperature (34°C) and normal overall acoustic profile, but the elevated bVOC (4.31 ppm, well above the healthy 0.5–2.0 ppm baseline) and moderately high eCO2 (1450 ppm vs. typical 400–800 ppm for spring) suggest possible early moisture stress, fermentation, or incoming nectar curing. The humidity (42.7%) is reasonable, but the gas signature warrants investigation. Vibration is slightly elevated (0.0138 g RMS, higher than Hive #2 or #3), possibly indicating defensive behavior or high colony activity.
⚠️ Issue: Elevated bVOC (4.31 ppm) — possible early fermentation, high moisture in stores, or disease VOC signature.⚠️ Issue: Moderately elevated eCO2 (1450 ppm) — suggests reduced ventilation or incoming nectar flow activity.⚠️ Issue: Vibration RMS 0.0138 g is higher than sister hives — monitor for stress or aggression.▹ Action: Conduct a full frame-by-frame inspection THIS WEEK: check for mold, AFB/EFB symptoms, or excessive moisture in honey stores.▹ Action: Verify entrance is clear and not blocked by propolis or debris; ensure good airflow.▹ Action: If you find stored honey with >20% moisture, consider adding a moisture absorbent or increasing hive ventilation.▹ Action: If no disease signs are found and nectar flow is active, the bVOC spike may be normal early-season curing—recheck in 5–7 days. -
node_34225 healthy Score: 82/100📋 Overall Health
Your Hive #2 is performing excellently. Brood temperature sits at 34.8°C—right in the ideal 34–36°C range—and humidity is stable at 36.7%, showing good moisture management. Acoustic energy is evenly distributed across the normal colony hum bands (200–260 Hz dominant at 0.686), and vibration patterns are uniform and low-intensity, consistent with a queen-right, well-organized colony in spring buildup. Watch for any humidity drops below 35% over the next week, as April drying conditions could stress developing brood.
▹ Action: Continue monitoring weekly; no intervention needed.▹ Action: Track humidity trend—if it drops below 35%, consider adding water source near apiary.▹ Action: By late April, watch for early swarm indicators (rising 420–500 Hz acoustic energy and temp creep to 35.5°C+). -
node_55484 healthy Score: 70/100📋 Overall Health
Your Beta Node (node_55484) has no telemetry data in the last 24 hours, so active hive status cannot be assessed. This may indicate a sensor deployment issue, dead battery, or that the hive is empty/not yet populated.
⚠️ Issue: No data received in last 24 hours.▹ Action: Check the physical device: verify battery is installed and contacts are clean.▹ Action: Confirm the hive is active. If empty, no further action is needed; if occupied, investigate sensor power/connectivity.▹ Action: If sensor is working, wait for next data transmission (typically within 24–48 hours) and re-assess. -
node_547 healthy Score: 85/100📋 Overall Health
Your Hive #3 is thriving with excellent brood temperature (34.84°C), ideal humidity (60.3°—right in the 50–70% optimal range), and the lowest IAQ reading of your hives (73), indicating excellent air quality and ventilation. Acoustic energy is evenly distributed (dominant 500–600 Hz at 0.545), and vibration is smooth and uniform across all bands, with low kurtosis (1.4)—a signature of calm, organized colony behavior. The slightly elevated 5–20 Hz and 20–50 Hz vibration (0.545–0.553) may reflect active fanning for spring nectar curing, which is normal and healthy.
▹ Action: This hive needs no intervention; it's a model of spring health.▹ Action: Continue standard monitoring. By mid-May, watch for pre-swarm acoustic energy migration toward 400–500 Hz if brood frame count increases significantly.▹ Action: Humidity levels are perfect—maintain current hive ventilation.
