Your apiary is showing mixed signals on May 8th. Three hives (Iris, Hive #1, Hive #3) maintain healthy brood temperatures (34.1–34.7°C) with stable pressure, but elevated eCO2 (1100–1160 ppm) and rising bVOC (2.0–2.2 ppm) across Hives #2, #1, and #3 suggest ventilation stress or early nectar/pollen influx during this active spring period. Hive #2 stands out with notably low humidity (31.3%) and highest IAQ (90), warranting attention. Beta Node is offline.

node_2662 healthy Score: 78/100📋 Overall Health
Your Iris hive is performing well this morning. Brood temperature sits perfectly at 34.46°C, humidity is ideal at 51.82%, and acoustic energy is evenly distributed across all frequency bands with no signs of stress. eCO2 (566 ppm) and bVOC (0.58 ppm) are both normal, indicating good ventilation and healthy metabolic activity.
▹ Action: Continue routine monitoring. No immediate intervention needed.▹ Action: Watch for any rise in bVOC above 1.0 ppm over the next week, which could signal incoming nectar flow or early disease onset. -
node_44812 warning Score: 65/100📋 Overall Health
Your Hive #1 is stable in temperature (34.14°C) and perfectly upright (2° tilt), but shows moderate alarm signs. eCO2 is elevated at 1163 ppm and bVOC at 2.24 ppm—the highest bVOC in your apiary. Humidity is moderate at 41.23%. Acoustically, energy shifts toward higher frequencies (800–1500 Hz dominance at 0.51), which can indicate distress signaling or active colony response. Vibration kurtosis is low (1.9), showing smooth, non-impulsive activity, but the 5–20 Hz vibration band shows elevated baseline.
⚠️ Issue: bVOC at 2.24 ppm is highest across apiary; may indicate advanced nectar processing, fermentation risk, or possible early disease.⚠️ Issue: eCO2 elevated at 1163 ppm; similar ventilation stress as Hive #2.⚠️ Issue: Acoustic shift toward 800–1500 Hz (higher frequencies) is atypical; normal colonies concentrate energy in 200–350 Hz fundamental bands.⚠️ Issue: Low vibration kurtosis (1.9) with raised 5–20 Hz baseline suggests smooth mechanical motion, possibly excessive fanning.▹ Action: Inspect within 48 hours, paying close attention to frame moisture content and honey cap condition.▹ Action: Check for signs of fermentation (wet frames, sour smell, dysentery patterns). If present, reduce moisture sources and increase ventilation immediately.▹ Action: Sample bVOC again in 24 hours. If it reaches 3.0+ ppm, consider possibility of American Foulbrood (AFB) or Nosema and perform diagnostic tests.▹ Action: Listen for unusual high-frequency sounds during inspection (e.g., distressed worker piping >800 Hz). This could indicate queen stress or disease. -
node_34225 warning Score: 62/100📋 Overall Health
Your Hive #2 is showing concerning environmental stress. While brood temperature (34.47°C) and sound levels remain normal, humidity has dropped to 31.33%—well below the optimal 50–70% range for brood rearing. eCO2 is elevated at 1115 ppm and bVOC at 2.01 ppm, suggesting reduced ventilation or moisture loss. The vibration spectrum shows elevated energy across all bands (0.52–0.59 g), particularly in the 50–200 Hz range (fanning/activity zones), indicating the colony is working harder to regulate conditions.
⚠️ Issue: Humidity critically low at 31.3% (optimal 50–70%); risks larval desiccation.⚠️ Issue: eCO2 elevated at 1115 ppm; indicates ventilation compromise or overcrowding.⚠️ Issue: bVOC at 2.01 ppm; may reflect nectar curing or early fermentation risk if humidity stays low.⚠️ Issue: Elevated vibration across 50–200 Hz suggests active fanning to compensate for poor ventilation.▹ Action: Inspect this hive within 48 hours. Check entrance for debris, propolis blockage, or dead bees restricting airflow.▹ Action: Ensure upper entrance/ventilation is clear. Consider adding a moisture source (damp cloth near entrance) to restore humidity toward 50%.▹ Action: Re-sample gas and humidity in 24 hours. If bVOC continues rising above 2.5 ppm with humidity <35%, suspect early fermentation or disease and perform a full frame-by-frame inspection. -
node_55484 warning Score: 45/100📋 Overall Health
Your Beta Node is offline and has not transmitted data in the last 24 hours. Battery or communication failure is likely. Without telemetry, the hive's current status cannot be assessed.
⚠️ Issue: No telemetry received in last 24 hours.⚠️ Issue: Hive status unknown; cannot assess temperature, humidity, acoustic, or health metrics.⚠️ Issue: Beta Node may have been intended as a test device (noted in inspection label) and is not operational for this apiary analysis.▹ Action: Check the Beta Node sensor battery and connection. If battery voltage is <3.0V, replace or recharge immediately.▹ Action: Verify gateway connectivity and signal strength to the node's location.▹ Action: If this is a test node as noted in the inspection data, consider deploying a production-grade sensor or decommissioning this unit to avoid future data gaps. -
node_547 warning Score: 68/100📋 Overall Health
Your Hive #3 is maintaining good brood temperature (34.66°C) and humidity (52.57%), but acoustic spectral data shows a notable anomaly. Energy is concentrated in the 150–260 Hz band (0.65–0.73 baseline), which is higher than typical fundamental frequency (200–350 Hz) and suggests possible queen activity signaling. eCO2 and bVOC are elevated (1111 ppm and 1.99 ppm respectively). Vibration is consistently elevated across all bands (0.55–0.56 g), indicating sustained fanning effort.
⚠️ Issue: Acoustic energy peaked at 200–260 Hz (0.73) and 150–200 Hz (0.69) today, significantly above 24h average of ~0.50; this is the swarming indicator band.⚠️ Issue: Elevated 200–260 Hz combined with rising eCO2/bVOC may signal pre-swarm preparation or queen piping behavior in the 3–5 day window.⚠️ Issue: eCO2 at 1111 ppm and bVOC at 1.99 ppm indicate ventilation strain; colonies preparing to swarm often show compressed gas signatures.⚠️ Issue: Sustained elevation across vibration bands suggests prolonged fanning, consistent with pre-swarm temperature elevation or defensive response.▹ Action: Monitor acoustic spectrum closely over next 24–48 hours. If 200–260 Hz energy remains >0.65 or rises further, swarm departure may be 3–7 days away.▹ Action: Perform a full visual inspection within 24 hours. Look for: swarm cells (queen cups with larvae and royal jelly), double brood boxes in use, and high population density.▹ Action: If swarm risk confirmed: consider breaking brood pattern, moving sealed brood to new location, or performing a controlled split to reduce swarming drive.▹ Action: Re-sample eCO2 and sound spectrum in 12 hours to detect progression. Any further energy shift toward 420–500 Hz (queen piping) = immediate intervention window.
