Your apiary is in early May with cool overnight temperatures (6.5°C) and stable pressure—ideal spring conditions for brood rearing. Four of your five hives are maintaining healthy brood nest temperatures (33.7–34.5°C) with excellent humidity control, but Hive #2 shows elevated eCO2 and bVOC levels that warrant attention for possible ventilation stress or early disease. Beta Node has no recent data and should be checked.

node_2662 healthy Score: 82/100📋 Overall Health
Your Iris hive is performing excellently in early May. Brood temperature holds perfectly at 34.3°C, humidity is ideal at 50%, and air quality metrics (IAQ 51, eCO2 575 ppm, bVOC 0.59 ppm) indicate strong ventilation and healthy metabolism. Sound spectrum shows even energy distribution across all frequency bands with a 24h average centered around 0.50 across the board—this represents normal colony hum with no signs of stress, swarming, or queenlessness.
▹ Action: Continue routine monitoring—this hive is thriving.▹ Action: Watch the next 2 weeks for any shift toward higher 420–500 Hz frequencies, which could signal pre-swarm queen piping as May swarm season progresses. -
node_44812 healthy Score: 78/100📋 Overall Health
Your Hive #1 is solid and stable. Brood temperature at 33.7°C is slightly cool but within normal range; humidity at 39% is lower than optimal but not concerning. Air quality (IAQ 88, eCO2 982 ppm, bVOC 1.49 ppm) is acceptable. Vibration spectrum is notably elevated across all bands (0.51–0.54 average), indicating active fanning and thermoregulation. Sound spectrum shows elevated 100–150 Hz and 350–420 Hz energy, typical of a population-dense, actively foraging colony.
▹ Action: Humidity is trending slightly dry (39%); monitor for the next week. If it drops below 35%, consider whether nectar/pollen flow has slowed or if there's an entrance design issue.▹ Action: Higher vibration activity suggests this is a strong, working colony. Continue weekly spot-checks for early swarm signs (capped swarm cells, high brood temp spikes). -

Your Hive #2 is maintaining proper brood temperature (34.5°C), but air quality is concerning. eCO2 sits at 1314 ppm (more than 2× normal) and bVOC at 3.16 ppm—both well above healthy baselines. This suggests reduced ventilation or early-stage metabolic stress. Humidity is drier than ideal at 38%, and vibration kurtosis is unusually low (2.3), indicating unusually smooth activity. Sound spectrum shows slight elevation in the 100–200 Hz baseline region (0.557–0.600), consistent with stressed or inefficient fanning.
⚠️ Issue: Elevated eCO2 (1314 ppm) and bVOC (3.16 ppm)—possible ventilation blockage or early disease fermentation.⚠️ Issue: Low humidity (38%) with high eCO2—potential mismatch in moisture regulation.⚠️ Issue: Smooth vibration profile (kurtosis 2.3) may indicate reduced colony vigor or less active foraging behavior.▹ Action: Inspect entrance and verify it's clear—debris, propolis buildup, or mouse guard obstruction could be restricting airflow.▹ Action: Check for signs of fermentation (leaking honey, wet sugar stores, mold). If bVOC continues rising and eCO2 stays >1500 ppm, consider temporary entrance reducer removal to increase ventilation.▹ Action: Re-inspect in 48 hours; if eCO2 remains elevated and humidity stays <40%, consider a full frame inspection for disease signs (AFB, Nosema). -

No telemetry data received in the last 24 hours. Beta Node is offline or the sensor is not transmitting. Unable to assess hive status without current readings.
⚠️ Issue: No data available—node is offline or malfunctioning.⚠️ Issue: Cannot assess hive health or detect emergent issues.▹ Action: Check the sensor battery immediately—if voltage is critically low, replace or recharge.▹ Action: Verify the node is physically present in the hive and properly seated.▹ Action: Check gateway connection and signal strength. Move gateway closer if necessary or inspect for radio interference.▹ Action: If node continues to fail, consider returning it for inspection or replacement. -
node_547 healthy Score: 85/100📋 Overall Health
Your Hive #3 is the cleanest performer in the apiary. Brood temperature at 34.4°C is textbook perfect, humidity ranges from 43–51% (now at 43%, slightly low but stable), and air quality is excellent (IAQ 48, eCO2 489 ppm, bVOC 0.47 ppm)—the lowest emissions across all hives. Tilt is minimal (4°, most upright of all hives), and vibration kurtosis is normal (1.9). Sound spectrum shows unusual structure: depressed 100–260 Hz and elevated 500–600 and 600–800 Hz bands, which could reflect better-focused foraging or a slightly younger/more active population.
▹ Action: This hive is the benchmark for your apiary. No immediate action needed.▹ Action: Monitor the 500–600 Hz and 600–800 Hz activity over the next 2 weeks. If it persists and brood temp rises, could indicate incoming nectar flow and potential pre-swarm behavior later in May.
