Your apiary is in solid spring condition overall, with four active hives maintaining healthy brood temperatures (34–35°C) and normal thermoregulation. However, two hives show elevated gas signatures (eCO2 and bVOC) that warrant closer monitoring for early ventilation stress or subtle disease activity—particularly Hive #1 new, which has the highest eCO2 (1282 ppm) and bVOC (2.94 ppm) of the group. One sensor (Beta Node) is offline, and outdoor conditions are cool (13.37°C) but stable; barometric pressure is trending level, suggesting no immediate weather disturbance.

Your Iris hive is performing excellently. Brood temperature is perfectly centered at 34.42°C, humidity is ideal at 47.26%, and acoustic and gas profiles are textbook healthy. The flat sound spectrum (all bands ~0.49–0.58) and low, uniform vibration spectrum indicate a calm, well-regulated colony with no signs of distress, swarming activity, or disease.
▹ Action: Continue routine monitoring. This hive needs no immediate intervention.▹ Action: Watch for any rise in the 200–260 Hz (swarming indicator band) or 420–500 Hz (queen piping) over the next 3–5 days as April swarm season peaks.▹ Action: Routine spring inspection if not done recently—confirm queen presence and brood patterns visually. -

Your Hive #1 new shows concerning gas signatures: eCO2 is 1282 ppm (more than 3× the baseline 400 ppm) and bVOC is 2.94 ppm—the highest in your apiary. While brood temperature (34.32°C) and humidity (45.28%) are normal, these gas spikes suggest either early ventilation impairment, developing fermentation in stored honey, or subtle disease activity (possibly Nosema or incipient AFB). The 80–120 Hz and higher vibration bands are elevated vs. other hives, and the 800–1500 Hz and 1500–3600 Hz sound bands show unusually high energy (0.522, 0.498)—a potential sign of defensive or distressed bee activity.
⚠️ Issue: High eCO2 (1282 ppm) and elevated bVOC (2.94 ppm) indicate ventilation stress or disease-related VOC production.⚠️ Issue: Elevated vibration in the 5–20 Hz band (0.573) and 20–50 Hz band (0.533)—significantly higher than other hives—could indicate external disturbance sensitivity or internal stress.⚠️ Issue: Upper sound spectrum (800–1500 Hz, 1500–3600 Hz) above 0.5 is unusual and warrants investigation for defensive behavior or anomalous bee activity.▹ Action: Perform a full visual inspection this week: assess brood pattern, food stores, mold or fermentation signs, and Varroa load.▹ Action: Check entrance and top ventilation for blockages; if bee traffic is normal, gas buildup may indicate fermentation (excess stored nectar with high moisture >20%) or disease.▹ Action: Confirm the queen is present and laying; if she's absent, eCO2 would remain elevated due to reduced brood rearing and possible colony disruption.▹ Action: If you observe dysentery stains, rotting brood cells, or a sharp sour smell, isolate this hive and take a sample for AFB/Nosema lab confirmation.▹ Action: Reduce congestion: if the hive is bursting with stores, add a super to improve air circulation. -

Your Hive #2 is healthy and stable. Brood temperature at 34.92°C sits comfortably in the optimal range, and humidity is low at 40.53%—typical for a colony actively managing moisture. The sound spectrum shows a slight uptick in the 420–500 Hz band (0.518), which is worth noting as a minor swarming-risk indicator, but the 24-hour average is flat, suggesting this is transient activity rather than sustained pre-swarm behavior.
⚠️ Issue: Minor: 420–500 Hz energy at 0.518 (current) vs. 0.503 (24h avg)—watch for escalating queen piping or swarm preparations.▹ Action: Plan a visual inspection within 3–5 days to assess brood expansion and queen egg-laying rate; early swarm signs may manifest before acoustic changes intensify.▹ Action: Monitor the 200–260 Hz and 420–500 Hz bands daily; if energy there continues to rise, swarm departure may be imminent.▹ Action: Hive tilt is 9° (slightly elevated but not critical); check hive stand stability on your next visit. -

Your Beta Node sensor is offline or non-responsive; no telemetry data has been received in the last 24 hours. This hive's status is unknown and cannot be assessed.
⚠️ Issue: No sensor data available—hive status unknown.⚠️ Issue: Possible causes: battery depleted, sensor malfunction, data transmission failure, or hive is damaged/empty.▹ Action: Check the sensor battery and connections immediately. Swap in a fresh battery if available.▹ Action: Verify the hive is upright and structurally sound; if tipped or damaged, that could explain data loss.▹ Action: Perform a visual inspection to confirm the hive is alive and thriving; if bees are present but data is still absent, troubleshoot the sensor (firmware, antenna, gateway range).▹ Action: If the hive is dead or missing, remove the sensor and address the colony loss root cause. -

Your Hive #3 sits in the middle range. Brood temperature (34.83°C) and core metrics are solid, but eCO2 (1147 ppm) and bVOC (2.17 ppm) are elevated—not as severe as Hive #1 new, but noticeably above the baseline. Humidity is the highest in your apiary at 58.16%, which combined with rising gas levels, suggests active nectar intake and possible moisture management challenges. The sound spectrum shows a pronounced peak in the 350–420 Hz band (0.588), which can indicate queen quacking (virgin queen in cell signaling readiness) or early swarming acoustics—monitor closely over the next few days.
⚠️ Issue: Elevated eCO2 (1147 ppm) and bVOC (2.17 ppm) suggest moisture and gas buildup.⚠️ Issue: Humidity at 58.16% is the highest in your apiary; combined with eCO2, this points to active honey curing or possible early fermentation if stores are damp.⚠️ Issue: Sound spectrum peak at 350–420 Hz (0.588) warrants attention—could be queen quacking or pre-swarm acoustic shift.▹ Action: Inspect for fresh egg-laying (foundation in brood area should show eggs); if the queen is present, the acoustic peak may reflect normal egg-laying activity rather than swarm preparation.▹ Action: Measure stored honey moisture if possible; if it exceeds 20%, improve ventilation or reduce further nectar intake.▹ Action: Monitor the 200–260 Hz and 350–420 Hz bands over the next 48–72 hours; if energy continues to concentrate there, prepare for possible swarm or queen emergency.▹ Action: Ensure adequate ventilation—this hive is the wettest and needs air flow to prevent condensation and fermentation.
