AI Beehive Health Report — 2026-05-05

Multi-sensor colony health analysis · 2026-05-05 warning
🐝 Apiary Overview

Your apiary is showing mostly healthy brood conditions across four active hives, with all maintaining ideal temperatures (34.5–35.1°C) and stable humidity levels. However, Hive #1 new (node_44812) is raising a concern: elevated eCO2 (1362 ppm) and bVOC (3.53 ppm) suggest possible ventilation stress or early fermentation, warranting closer inspection this week. Beta Node has gone offline — check the battery and sensor connection.

📋 Per-Hive Analysis
  • node_2662 healthy Score: 82/100
    📋 Overall Health

    Your Iris hive is running beautifully. Brood temp at 34.48°C is spot-on, humidity at 52.36% is ideal for brood rearing, and your air quality (IAQ 49, eCO2 499 ppm, bVOC 0.49 ppm) is excellent — well-ventilated with no disease signals. Sound and vibration spectra show flat, neutral profiles across all frequency bands, consistent with a calm, healthy colony in early May.

    ▹ Action: Continue routine monitoring — no action needed this week.
    ▹ Action: Watch for any rise in the 200–260 Hz sound band, which would signal swarming risk as May progresses.
  • node_44812 warning Score: 56/100
    📋 Overall Health

    Your Hive #1 new is showing worrying air quality metrics: eCO2 at 1362 ppm (nearly 3× normal brood-season levels) and bVOC at 3.53 ppm are elevated flags for ventilation blockage or possible early fermentation/disease. Brood temp and humidity are still healthy, and sound/vibration are normal, but these gas spikes demand attention. The current 24-hour spectral data shows elevated energy in the 100–200 Hz bands (0.580–0.686), suggesting active fanning attempts to improve ventilation.

    ⚠️ Issue: eCO2 at 1362 ppm indicates poor ventilation or nectar fermentation risk — well above the normal 500–700 ppm range for May.
    ⚠️ Issue: bVOC at 3.53 ppm suggests possible moisture accumulation, honey fermentation, or early disease (Nosema, AFB) — significantly above the 0.5–2.0 ppm baseline.
    ⚠️ Issue: Elevated 100–200 Hz sound energy (0.686 at 150–200 Hz) may reflect compensatory fanning behavior.
    ▹ Action: Inspect this hive within 2–3 days: check for entrance blockage, verify upper ventilation isn't restricted, assess frame moisture and honey capping. Look for signs of fermentation (wet, sticky brood area) or disease (discolored brood, foul smell).
    ▹ Action: If entrance is clear but eCO2 remains high, reduce hive congestion — consider adding a super or splitting if the colony is overcrowded.
    ▹ Action: If you detect fermentation, ensure good upper ventilation and reduce hive humidity with screened bottom boards or ventilation boards.
  • node_34225 healthy Score: 80/100
    📋 Overall Health

    Your Hive #2 is thriving with stable brood temperature at 35.09°C and moderate humidity at 44.43%. Air quality is good (IAQ 72, eCO2 703 ppm), though slightly elevated compared to Iris. Sound spectrum shows a modest peak at 100–150 Hz (0.529), consistent with normal baseline colony hum; vibration is low and well-balanced. This hive looks robust heading into late spring.

    ▹ Action: Continue monitoring — no urgent action required.
    ▹ Action: Note the slightly lower humidity (44.43%) compared to your other hives; if it drops below 40% in warm weather, consider ensuring adequate water access.
  • node_55484 warning Score: 45/100
    📋 Overall Health

    Your Beta Node has no recent telemetry data — it went offline at least 24 hours ago. This could indicate a dead battery, sensor malfunction, connectivity failure, or hive collapse. Without data, you're flying blind on this colony's health.

    ⚠️ Issue: No telemetry in last 24 hours — sensor is offline or failed.
    ⚠️ Issue: Unable to assess brood temperature, humidity, air quality, or colony activity.
    ▹ Action: Check the Beta Node sensor immediately: verify battery voltage (should be ~4.1–4.2V), inspect for moisture or propolis damage, confirm wireless connectivity to the ApisMind Gateway.
    ▹ Action: If battery is critically low (<3.0V), replace it and restart the sensor.
    ▹ Action: If the sensor appears functional but still offline, try power-cycling the Gateway or checking your network connection.
    ▹ Action: Until the sensor is restored, plan a physical inspection of this hive to confirm the colony is alive and thriving.
  • node_547 healthy Score: 78/100
    📋 Overall Health

    Your Hive #3 is in solid condition with brood temperature at 34.61°C and humidity at 57.51% (well-balanced for May brood rearing). Air quality is good (IAQ 60, eCO2 625 ppm, bVOC 0.66 ppm) with no disease signals. Sound spectrum shows moderate peaks at 100–150 Hz (0.588) and 600–800 Hz (0.549), indicating active colony metabolism and fanning. Vibration profile is slightly elevated across all bands (0.52–0.54 g), suggesting robust internal activity.

    ▹ Action: Continue routine monitoring — this hive shows healthy, sustainable activity.
    ▹ Action: The higher humidity (57.51%) and moderate vibration energy position this colony well for swarm preparation — monitor the 420–500 Hz sound band weekly for pre-swarm queen piping as May progresses.
