Your apiary is showing mostly healthy brood conditions across established hives, with stable temperatures (34.5–34.9°C) and good thermoregulation in cool spring weather (outdoor 12.3°C). However, Hive #1 new is flagging elevated eCO2 (1440 ppm) and notably high bVOC (4.21 ppm)—well above normal—suggesting possible ventilation stress or early fermentation risk. Beta Node has gone silent; check its battery and sensor connections.

node_2662 healthy Score: 82/100📋 Overall Health
Your Iris hive is performing excellently: brood temperature holding steady at 34.91°C with a rock-solid 24h range of just 0.3°C (34.6–34.9°C), and humidity in the sweet spot at 54.7%. Acoustic spectrum shows the expected colony baseline with energy concentrated in the 100–150Hz band (0.537), typical of a healthy, peacefully active colony. Vibration kurtosis of 2.3 is normal. This hive is thriving in May.
▹ Action: Continue routine monitoring; no immediate action needed.▹ Action: Watch for any shift in acoustic energy toward 420–500Hz over the next 2–3 weeks—early swarm indicator in May. -

Your Hive #1 new is showing concerning gas readings: eCO2 at 1440 ppm (more than double your other hives) and bVOC at 4.21 ppm (6–7× higher than normal). While brood temperature is stable at 34.58°C and humidity acceptable at 47.96%, these elevated volatiles suggest ventilation blockage, early fermentation in honey stores, or possible disease activity. The IAQ index of 122 is elevated. Acoustically, the hive shows slightly stronger energy in mid-range frequencies (350–420Hz at 0.584, 420–500Hz at 0.529), which alone wouldn't alarm—but combined with the gas anomalies, warrants investigation.
⚠️ Issue: eCO2 at 1440 ppm indicates reduced ventilation or CO2 buildup⚠️ Issue: bVOC at 4.21 ppm is abnormally high—possible fermentation, fungal activity, or early disease⚠️ Issue: IAQ (122) elevated above optimal range⚠️ Issue: Low vibration energy across all bands suggests reduced colony activity or population stress▹ Action: Inspect this hive in person within 48 hours: check entrance for blockage, assess population size and brood pattern, look for signs of fermentation (weeping honey, high moisture), and note any odors (sour/vinegar smell = fermentation, fecal smell = disease).▹ Action: If you find fermentation or moisture issues, increase bottom ventilation and reduce stored honey frames if possible.▹ Action: If no obvious ventilation issue is found, consider testing for American Foulbrood or Nosema—the bVOC signature warrants disease screening.▹ Action: Compare this hive's population to Hive #2; if significantly smaller, it may be a weaker/new colony still establishing, which can trap CO2 with lower metabolic heat. -

Hive #2 is in excellent condition with stable brood temp at 34.86°C and low humidity (44.65%), which is ideal for spring brood rearing. The acoustic profile is notably flat across all bands (24h average ~0.5), with dominant energy in the 260–350Hz range—the colony fundamental frequency for a healthy queen-right hive. eCO2 at 729 ppm and bVOC at 0.84 ppm are both normal for active spring colonies. This hive is running smoothly.
▹ Action: Maintain current management; no action required this week.▹ Action: Continue monitoring humidity; if it drops below 40%, verify adequate water sources nearby. -

Beta Node has submitted no telemetry data in the last 24 hours. The sensor may be offline, have a dead battery, or have become disconnected from the network.
⚠️ Issue: No data transmission in last 24 hours⚠️ Issue: Cannot assess hive condition without sensor data▹ Action: Check the Beta Node hardware: verify it is seated properly in the hive and has not been knocked loose.▹ Action: Inspect the battery: if it is below 3.3V, it may have insufficient power to transmit. Replace the battery and restart the node.▹ Action: Check network connectivity: confirm the node can reach your gateway (walk to the hive with a phone/laptop to test signal strength if available).▹ Action: If the sensor remains offline after troubleshooting, power-cycle the gateway and restart the node.▹ Action: Once data returns, immediately assess the hive's conditions to rule out emergency issues. -
node_547 healthy Score: 81/100📋 Overall Health
Your Hive #3 is healthy and stable with brood temperature at 34.62°C and humidity elevated at 67.23%—higher than your other hives, but not concerning for May when nectar flows increase and humidity naturally rises. eCO2 at 868 ppm and bVOC at 1.15 ppm are both normal. The acoustic spectrum shows energy spread across multiple bands with emphasis on 420–500Hz (0.525) and 500–600Hz (0.541), which suggests active foraging behavior and possibly some queen signaling activity—consistent with healthy spring colony dynamics. Vibration kurtosis of 2.6 is normal.
▹ Action: Monitor humidity over the next week; if it climbs above 75% while outdoor temps stay cool, ensure adequate ventilation.▹ Action: Continue routine monitoring; this hive is performing well.
