Your apiary is in early May with three active hives showing stable brood temperatures (34.4–34.8°C), which is excellent for spring brood rearing. However, Hive #1 is displaying elevated IAQ (105), eCO2 (1179 ppm), and bVOC (2.33 ppm)—well above normal—suggesting possible ventilation stress or early disease markers that warrant close monitoring. Hive #2 and Beta Node have no current telemetry; please verify sensor connectivity.

node_2662 healthy Score: 82/100📋 Overall Health
Your Iris hive is performing excellently. Brood temperature is perfectly stable at 34.77°C, humidity is ideal at 48.15%, and gas metrics are normal (eCO2 706 ppm, bVOC 0.79 ppm, IAQ 53). Acoustic and vibration spectral profiles show balanced energy distribution across all bands with no concerning frequency shifts—this is textbook healthy colony hum. With outdoor temps at 18°C, your hive's thermoregulation is working efficiently.
▹ Action: Continue weekly monitoring—this hive is tracking well for May brood expansion.▹ Action: Watch for any acoustic energy shift toward 420–500 Hz in coming weeks, which could signal pre-swarm queen piping. -

Your Hive #1 is showing critical gas-quality red flags that demand immediate attention. While brood temperature (34.4°C) and humidity (43.29%) are acceptable, the IAQ (105), eCO2 (1179 ppm), and bVOC (2.33 ppm) are significantly elevated—eCO2 is 40% above normal summer operating levels, and bVOC is nearly 3× the healthy baseline. This suggests poor ventilation, possible early fermentation, or early-stage disease (AFB, Nosema) that may not yet be visibly symptomatic. Your May 6 inspection found no queen and no eggs, which aligns with possible queenlessness or recent queen loss.
⚠️ Issue: Severely elevated eCO2 (1179 ppm; normal ~700 ppm)—indicates inadequate ventilation or CO2 buildup⚠️ Issue: Elevated bVOC (2.33 ppm; normal 0.5–2.0 ppm)—possible early disease marker or moisture stress⚠️ Issue: Elevated IAQ (105; normal <50)—suggests poor air exchange or VOC anomaly⚠️ Issue: Queen and eggs not observed on May 6—could indicate recent queen loss or colony destabilization⚠️ Issue: Low humidity (43.29%)—unusually dry; combined with high CO2 suggests possible hive stress response▹ Action: Perform a full inspection THIS WEEK: check for live queen, new eggs, and brood pattern. Look for AFB symptoms (sunken/perforated cappings, ropy brood) or Nosema (dysentery staining).▹ Action: Check entrance reducer and top ventilation for blockage—propolis buildup or dead bee debris can restrict airflow.▹ Action: Temporarily increase ventilation: open upper entrance/screened board if not already open, ensure lower entrance is unobstructed.▹ Action: If queen is genuinely missing, consider requeening or allowing the colony to develop a new queen from eggs (if eggs present).▹ Action: Retest gas metrics in 48–72 hours. If eCO2 and bVOC remain elevated after ventilation correction, collect samples for AFB/Nosema testing.▹ Action: Monitor acoustic spectrum for any shift toward 420–500 Hz (queen piping) or loss of structured hum (disease progression). -

Hive #2 has no telemetry data in the last 24 hours. This could indicate a sensor disconnection, low battery, or a communications failure. Without current readings, I cannot assess brood health, population activity, or disease risk. This is a significant gap in your monitoring during the critical May swarm season.
⚠️ Issue: No sensor data received in last 24 hours⚠️ Issue: Cannot assess hive status or detect early disease/swarm signals▹ Action: Check sensor battery voltage and connectivity immediately—replace batteries if <3.3V.▹ Action: Verify the sensor is properly seated in the hive and not damaged by propolis buildup.▹ Action: Perform a visual inspection to confirm the hive is alive and the queen is present.▹ Action: Restore telemetry transmission before next swarm risk period. -
node_55484 warning Score: 40/100📋 Overall Health
Beta Node has no telemetry data in the last 24 hours. Without any recent sensor readings, I cannot assess the health of this hive. Given that your beekeeper notes indicate this is a 'test node,' it may not be actively installed; however, if it is intended to monitor a live hive, the lack of data is a critical gap during the swarm-prone May season.
⚠️ Issue: No sensor data received in last 24 hours⚠️ Issue: Cannot assess hive viability or population dynamics▹ Action: Clarify whether this node is deployed on a live hive or reserved for testing. If deployed, check sensor battery, connectivity, and physical installation immediately.▹ Action: If this is a test/spare node, you can disregard it for apiary analysis.▹ Action: If it is a live hive, perform a visual inspection and restore telemetry within 24 hours. -
node_547 healthy Score: 75/100📋 Overall Health
Your Hive #3 is stable and healthy overall. Brood temperature (34.67°C) is ideal, humidity (47.23%) is appropriate, and gas metrics are within acceptable ranges (eCO2 1048 ppm, bVOC 1.73 ppm, IAQ 92). Vibration kurtosis (1.6) is notably lower than other hives, indicating a smooth, undisturbed colony. Acoustic spectral data shows slightly elevated 100–150 Hz energy, typical of baseline colony hum. The hive is positioned upright (4° tilt) and batteries are healthy (4148 mV).
⚠️ Issue: IAQ at 92 is elevated but not critical—worth monitoring in context of eCO2 trends.▹ Action: Continue routine monitoring. This hive is tracking well for May expansion.▹ Action: In 1–2 weeks, compare gas metrics to confirm eCO2 remains below 1100 ppm (sign of stable ventilation).▹ Action: Watch for any acoustic energy shifts toward 420–500 Hz that could signal early pre-swarm queen activity.
