Your apiary is showing mixed signals this early May morning. Three hives (Iris, Hive #2, Hive #3) are displaying healthy brood temperatures in the 33–35°C range with stable humidity and excellent air quality, but Hive #1 new is showing elevated eCO2 (903 ppm) and IAQ concerns (84) that warrant attention. Beta Node has gone silent — check the sensor battery and connection.

node_2662 healthy Score: 82/100📋 Overall Health
Your Iris hive is maintaining textbook brood-rearing conditions: stable 33.5°C core temperature, moderate 51.8% humidity, and excellent air quality (IAQ 50). The sound spectrum is remarkably flat across all frequency bands (all ~0.5), which is typical of a quiet, well-clustered colony in early May. Vibration is minimal and evenly distributed across the spectrum, indicating low baseline activity — normal for early morning in cool conditions (outdoor temp 5°C).
▹ Action: Continue routine monitoring. Schedule a visual inspection within the next 7 days to confirm brood pattern and queen presence, especially as May progresses toward peak swarm season.▹ Action: Watch for any acoustic energy shift toward 420–500 Hz in the coming weeks, which would signal pre-swarm queen piping activity. -
node_44812 warning Score: 62/100📋 Overall Health
Your Hive #1 new is raising a concern: eCO2 has climbed to 903 ppm and IAQ is elevated at 84, suggesting reduced ventilation relative to your other hives. Brood temperature (33.2°C) is slightly low for active spring laying, and humidity is at 37.4%. The sound spectrum is relatively flat, but the elevated CO₂ and bVOC (1.24 ppm, the highest in your apiary) point to either incomplete colony establishment, reduced foraging activity, or early-stage moisture stress.
⚠️ Issue: eCO2 at 903 ppm is high for a May morning — normal is 400–600 ppm. Suggests poor ventilation or incomplete colony development.⚠️ Issue: IAQ 84 is elevated (excellent is <50); bVOC 1.24 ppm is the highest across your apiary, potentially signaling moisture buildup or early fermentation risk.⚠️ Issue: Brood temperature 33.2°C is 0.5–1.0°C below the ideal 34–36°C, may indicate reduced worker activity or population constraints.▹ Action: Inspect this hive within 48 hours. Check for moisture condensation on the inner cover, verify entrance is clear, and confirm the queen is present and laying.▹ Action: Ensure upper ventilation is unobstructed (notched inner cover or ventilation board). If the hive is newly installed, confirm it's properly leveled and not compressed.▹ Action: If this is a weak or split colony, consider supplementing with drawn comb from a strong hive, or providing 1:1 sugar water to boost morale and foraging. -
node_34225 healthy Score: 85/100📋 Overall Health
Your Hive #2 is performing excellently with a brood temperature of 34.6°C (ideal for this season) and low humidity at 36.9%, indicating good ventilation. The current sound spectrum shows concentrated energy in the 100–200 Hz bands (0.62–0.63), which represents the healthy colony baseline hum. Vibration is very low (0.0093 g RMS) with even distribution, suggesting a calm, stable colony.
▹ Action: This hive is tracking well. Continue monitoring for any shift in acoustic profile as spring foraging intensifies.▹ Action: The low humidity (36.9%) is excellent for spring — no condensation risk with the cool outdoor temps (5°C). -

Your Beta Node has transmitted no telemetry data in the last 24 hours. The sensor is either offline, out of battery, or experiencing a communication failure.
⚠️ Issue: No sensor data for 24+ hours — cannot assess hive condition.▹ Action: Check the Beta Node power supply and battery immediately. Verify the sensor is powered on and the wireless connection is active.▹ Action: Inspect the hive physically to ensure it hasn't been disturbed or damaged. If the hive is healthy, reinstall or reboot the sensor.▹ Action: If you have a spare sensor, swap it in temporarily to continue monitoring while you troubleshoot the Beta Node. -
node_547 healthy Score: 83/100📋 Overall Health
Your Hive #3 is in excellent condition with a stable brood temperature of 34.6°C, moderate humidity at 41.4%, and low IAQ (57). The sound spectrum shows a more heterogeneous profile — peaks at 150–200 Hz and 260–350 Hz with lower energy at 100–150 Hz, which may indicate slightly more active foraging or nursing behavior than your other hives. Vibration is well-distributed (no dominant band), consistent with a calm, healthy colony.
▹ Action: Continue routine monitoring. The tilt reading is excellent at 2°, indicating your hive stand is perfectly level.▹ Action: In the coming weeks, watch for any increase in acoustic energy in the 420–500 Hz band, which would signal emerging virgin queen activity or pre-swarm building.
