Your apiary is showing early spring activity with stable brood temperatures across most hives, but three hives are flagging air quality concerns—particularly elevated eCO2 and bVOC levels that warrant attention. With outdoor temps at 11.7°C and very low humidity (11%), your hives are managing thermoregulation well, but ventilation issues are emerging in two colonies. Watch the next 48–72 hours closely for signs of disease or nectar fermentation.

node_2662 healthy Score: 82/100📋 Overall Health
Your Iris hive is performing beautifully right now. Brood temperature sits at a textbook 33.67°C, humidity is ideal at 45.89%, and the air quality is excellent (IAQ 43). The flat acoustic and vibration spectra suggest normal resting/early-spring behavior with no structural stress.
▹ Action: Continue routine monitoring. This hive is a reference point for comparing the others.▹ Action: Watch for the emergence of waggle dance activity (200–300 Hz spike) as outdoor temps climb this week. -

Your Hive #1 new is showing early warning signs. Brood temp is stable at 34.57°C, but eCO2 has spiked to 1,420 ppm and bVOC to 4.02 ppm—both well above healthy baselines. The sound spectrum shows elevated 200–260 Hz (0.612) and 260–350 Hz (0.580), typical of active brood rearing, but the gas anomalies suggest possible nectar fermentation, moisture stress, or early disease. IAQ at 125 is also elevated.
⚠️ Issue: eCO2 at 1,420 ppm indicates reduced ventilation or nectar processing of high-moisture nectar⚠️ Issue: bVOC at 4.02 ppm suggests fermentation (honey moisture >18%) or early fungal activity⚠️ Issue: IAQ 125 is approaching concern threshold (>150 is problematic)▹ Action: Inspect this hive THIS WEEK. Check for: (1) moisture/fermentation in stored nectar/honey, (2) blocked entrance or reduced ventilation, (3) visible mold or chalkbrood on frames.▹ Action: If nectar is fermenting, improve ventilation by adjusting entrance or adding upper entrance/screened bottom board.▹ Action: If you see signs of AFB (ropy brood, sunken cappings), isolate and treat immediately.▹ Action: Recheck gas levels in 48 hours; if bVOC stays >3.5 ppm, escalate to full inspection. -

Hive #2 is in excellent shape with brood temp at 34.87°C (ideal range) and low humidity at 38.24%. The sound spectrum shows elevated 100–150 Hz (0.604, colony baseline hum) suggesting normal activity. eCO2 at 777 ppm and bVOC at 0.93 ppm are well within healthy limits for an active spring colony.
▹ Action: No immediate action needed. This is a strong, healthy hive.▹ Action: Monitor IAQ trend; currently at 79 (normal), but flag if it climbs above 100. -
node_55484 critical Score: 0/100📋 Overall Health
Beta Node has not reported any telemetry data in the last 24 hours. Unable to assess hive condition without sensor input.
⚠️ Issue: No data received in 24 hours⚠️ Issue: Sensor may be offline, battery depleted, or hive may be inaccessible▹ Action: Physically check the hive and sensor unit immediately. Verify power connection and antenna alignment.▹ Action: Inspect hive for any signs of abandonment, collapse, or external damage.▹ Action: If sensor is faulty, replace battery or sensor module and resume monitoring.▹ Action: Once data resumes, assess hive health against the other colonies. -
node_547 warning Score: 71/100📋 Overall Health
Your Hive #3 is stable in temperature (34.8°C) and structure (tilt 3°), but humidity is notably higher at 64.16% and eCO2 has climbed to 1,028 ppm with bVOC at 1.65 ppm. The sound spectrum shows strong 100–150 Hz (0.584) and 150–200 Hz (0.569) activity, indicating normal baseline hum, but the gas profile suggests active brood rearing with some moisture accumulation.
⚠️ Issue: Humidity at 64.16% is high for April; combined with eCO2 at 1,028 ppm, indicates moisture buildup⚠️ Issue: bVOC at 1.65 ppm is borderline; could indicate early nectar processing or minor fermentation risk⚠️ Issue: IAQ at 97 is normal but trending toward caution▹ Action: Monitor humidity trend closely over the next 3–5 days. If it stays >65% with rising eCO2, check for blocked ventilation.▹ Action: Verify entrance is clear and consider adding upper entrance for cross-ventilation if humidity stays high.▹ Action: Check the hive's internal moisture (look for condensation on cover or frames) during your next visual inspection.▹ Action: Recheck gas levels in 48 hours; improvement in eCO2 and bVOC will signal successful ventilation adjustment.
