Your apiary is in excellent spring condition with all active hives maintaining strong brood temperatures (34.1–34.8°C) and stable humidity levels. Early May outdoor conditions are mild (9.5°C, 33% humidity) with stable pressure, allowing your colonies to focus on brood expansion and foraging. Watch for emerging swarm risk as we move deeper into May—monitor acoustic profiles for shifting energy toward higher frequencies.

node_2662 healthy Score: 88/100📋 Overall Health
Your Iris hive is thriving with ideal brood temperature (34.45°C) and excellent air quality (IAQ 49). Sound spectrum shows healthy distributed energy across all frequency bands, with a slight dominance in the 420–500 Hz region (0.573) typical of normal colony activity and queen presence. Vibration profile is calm and stable, indicating steady baseline metabolism with no signs of disturbance.
▹ Action: Continue routine weekly inspections; brood patterns should be expanding rapidly in May.▹ Action: Monitor the 420–500 Hz acoustic band over the next 2–3 weeks—if energy here persistently rises while overall sound stays calm, it could signal pre-swarm queen piping. A swarm is possible Apr–Jun.▹ Action: Humidity at 54% is ideal for brood rearing. Maintain good ventilation as foraging intensifies. -

Your Hive #1 new shows strong brood temperature (34.15°C) but elevated air quality markers warrant attention. eCO2 at 1187 ppm (roughly 2.4× outdoor baseline) and bVOC at 2.37 ppm suggest either slightly restricted ventilation or early nectar fermentation. Vibration spectrum is unusually elevated across all bands (0.51–0.55 vs. 0.49 in other hives), indicating higher-than-typical internal activity.
⚠️ Issue: eCO2 elevated (1187 ppm)—normal May range is 500–1000 ppm for active colonies.⚠️ Issue: bVOC at 2.37 ppm is 2–4× higher than Iris and Hive #2, suggesting either moisture stress or early fermentation.⚠️ Issue: Vibration spectrum uniformly high across all bands, indicating either larger population, more active fanning, or possible disturbance response.▹ Action: Perform a visual inspection this week: check for blocked entrance, excessive propolis sealing, or moisture accumulation on inner cover.▹ Action: If entrance is clear and bees appear healthy, increase upper ventilation slightly (e.g., add a small vent hole if using a screened board) to improve air exchange.▹ Action: Re-measure in 3–5 days; if eCO2 drops to <900 ppm and bVOC falls below 1.5 ppm, ventilation adjustment was successful.▹ Action: If bVOC remains high and you observe foul odor or spotty brood, inspect for American Foulbrood (AFB) or Nosema. -

Your Hive #2 is performing exceptionally well with stable brood temperature (34.81°C) and optimal humidity (42.76%). Sound and vibration spectra are remarkably uniform and low-energy, indicating a calm, well-organized colony in standard spring build-up mode. Air quality metrics (IAQ 75, eCO2 733 ppm) are within healthy ranges.
▹ Action: This hive's uniformly flat spectral profile and low vibration kurtosis (1.9) suggest excellent internal stability—keep this pattern as your baseline for comparison.▹ Action: Humidity is on the drier side (42.8%); if it drops below 40% in the coming weeks, check for excessive ventilation or early nectar processing.▹ Action: No immediate concerns—continue standard spring management and inspect for brood disease symptoms during next routine check. -
node_55484 warning Score: 40/100📋 Overall Health
Your Beta Node has not reported telemetry data in the last 24 hours. This could indicate a communication failure, dead battery, or sensor malfunction. Without data, colony status cannot be assessed.
⚠️ Issue: No telemetry data received in last 24 hours—communication link or power failure.▹ Action: Check the hive installation: confirm the sensor is properly seated and powered. Look for loose wiring or water intrusion.▹ Action: Verify the gateway can see the node; walk near the hive with a phone/gateway device and check for Bluetooth signal.▹ Action: Replace the battery (typically a CR2032 or 2×AA depending on model) and restart the sensor.▹ Action: If data resumes but shows cold temps (<10°C), the hive may be empty or deceased—inspect in person this week. -
node_547 healthy Score: 85/100📋 Overall Health
Your Hive #3 maintains ideal brood temperature (34.56°C) and is the only hive with elevated humidity (64.76%), which is still within the healthy 50–70% range. Sound spectrum shows interesting energy concentration in the 150–200 Hz band (0.671 baseline, 0.503 24h avg), a signature of active baseline colony hum—normal for a strong spring colony. Vibration profile indicates moderate fanning activity (80–120 Hz bands are active).
▹ Action: Humidity at 64.8% is healthy but on the higher side; it suggests your bees may be actively processing nectar. Monitor over the next week—if humidity climbs above 70%, increase ventilation to prevent fermentation.▹ Action: The concentrated 150–200 Hz sound energy is typical of a populous, well-organized colony. This is a good sign for spring build-up.▹ Action: Watch for early swarm preparation starting late May. The combination of strong population + high humidity + elevated baseline hum can precede swarming.
