Your apiary is showing mixed signals in early May. Three of four active hives maintain healthy brood temperatures (34.2–34.7°C) and are properly sealed, but Hive #2 is displaying elevated air quality concerns (IAQ 114, eCO2 1447 ppm, bVOC 4.28 ppm) alongside critically low humidity (39.45%), and Hive #3 shows slightly elevated vibration kurtosis (3.7) worth monitoring. Your Beta Node has no recent data. The outdoor environment is dry and cool (19.2°C, 9.3% RH), which is normal for early May — all hives are maintaining their own microclimate effectively.

node_2662 healthy Score: 82/100📋 Overall Health
Your Iris hive is performing excellently. Brood temperature is locked at a steady 34.59°C, humidity is in the ideal 55.87% range, and air quality (IAQ 51) is the cleanest in your apiary. Sound spectrum shows flat, uniform energy across all bands (all ~0.49–0.51), indicating quiet, stable colony hum with no pre-swarm or queenlessness signals. Vibration is well-balanced across the active fanning band (80–120 Hz at 0.412), suggesting healthy thermoregulation.
▹ Action: Continue routine weekly monitoring; no intervention needed this week.▹ Action: Iris remains your reference hive for normal behavior — compare other hives against this baseline. -
node_44812 healthy Score: 79/100📋 Overall Health
Your Hive #1 is stable and well-managed. Brood temperature (34.49°C) and humidity (45.17%) are both in safe ranges, IAQ (109) and eCO2 (1203 ppm) are moderately elevated but not alarming, and tilt is excellent (2°, nearly perfect). Sound spectrum shows the highest overall amplitude in the 100–350 Hz bands (0.60, 0.57, 0.57), typical of a large, active colony with robust baseline hum. Vibration kurtosis (2.0) is normal, and 80–120 Hz activity (0.471) indicates balanced fanning and ventilation effort.
▹ Action: Routine inspection within 2 weeks to confirm queen presence and brood progression; no urgent action.▹ Action: Monitor air quality trend — if eCO2 drifts above 1500 ppm, plan improved ventilation.▹ Action: Strong hive; consider as surplus population source if you plan splits later in May. -
node_34225 warning Score: 58/100📋 Overall Health
Your Hive #2 is raising red flags on air quality and humidity. While brood temperature (34.67°C) and tilt (8°) are normal, the combination of elevated IAQ (114), high eCO2 (1447 ppm — nearly 2.4× normal), and critically low humidity (39.45%) suggests either poor ventilation or active nectar dehydration. The bVOC spike (4.28 ppm) is notable and could indicate early fermentation risk if moisture is trapped despite low external humidity, or incoming fresh nectar being cured. Sound spectrum shows unusual elevation in the 350–500 Hz region (0.537–0.529), which can signal heightened queen activity or increased worker urgency.
⚠️ Issue: IAQ 114 with eCO2 1447 ppm — ventilation concern or nectar dehydration underway.⚠️ Issue: Humidity 39.45% — critically low for a healthy colony, risk of larval desiccation.⚠️ Issue: bVOC 4.28 ppm — elevated volatiles, monitor for fermentation or disease.⚠️ Issue: Sound spectrum shift toward 350–500 Hz — possible queen or worker behavioral change.▹ Action: Open hive inspection THIS WEEK to check: (1) visible moisture/condensation on inner cover, (2) honey stores and frame moisture, (3) brood pattern and queen presence, (4) entrance clearance for airflow.▹ Action: If humidity stays <40% next 24h, increase hive ventilation (add upper entrance, ensure screened bottom board is clear).▹ Action: If eCO2 remains >1400 ppm and humidity drops further, suspect blocked ventilation — clear propolis from air gaps.▹ Action: Re-test air quality in 24–48h; if bVOC climbs above 5.0 ppm, escalate to disease investigation (AFB, Nosema). -
node_55484 warning Score: 40/100📋 Overall Health
Your Beta Node has transmitted no telemetry data in the last 24 hours, making real-time health assessment impossible. This is the test node flagged in your inspection notes as non-operational. Sensor malfunction, dead battery, or connectivity failure is likely.
⚠️ Issue: No telemetry data in last 24 hours — sensor offline or battery depleted.⚠️ Issue: Node identified in inspection notes as test-only; may not be active in your monitoring fleet.▹ Action: Check physical connection and battery voltage at the node location.▹ Action: If this is a test node, remove it from analysis or confirm it is ready for deployment.▹ Action: If operational, restart the gateway connection and verify sensor reboot. -
node_547 warning Score: 65/100📋 Overall Health
Your Hive #3 shows good baseline health (brood temp 34.25°C, humidity 49.76%, tilt 3°) but is signaling possible internal disturbance. Vibration kurtosis (3.7) is elevated above the healthy threshold of ~3.0, and the 160–200 Hz vibration band (0.522) is higher than your other hives, suggesting impulsive, irregular vibration events (possibly from struggling bees, pest disturbance, or colony reshuffling). Sound spectrum peaks at 500–600 Hz (0.584), which is unusual and warrants attention — this could indicate broadband excitement before swarming or distress signaling. IAQ (119) and bVOC (3.51 ppm) are moderately elevated.
⚠️ Issue: Vibration kurtosis 3.7 — elevated above normal 3.0, suggesting impulsive or irregular vibration activity.⚠️ Issue: Sound spectrum peak at 500–600 Hz — could signal pre-swarm excitement or internal disturbance.⚠️ Issue: Upper vibration band (160–200 Hz) elevated — may indicate mechanical activity or pest interference.⚠️ Issue: bVOC at 3.51 ppm — borderline elevated, monitor for disease onset.▹ Action: Visual inspection within 48–72 hours to check: (1) brood pattern integrity, (2) queen presence and laying, (3) Varroa mite load (use sticky board under screened bottom board), (4) any signs of disease (spotty brood, discolored cells).▹ Action: Monitor acoustic profile closely over next 24–48h — if 500–600 Hz energy remains or climbs, and temperature rises above 35.5°C, increase swarm watch frequency.▹ Action: If elevated kurtosis persists and no obvious cause found, consider small hive beetle or other pest — inspect frame corners and bottom board.▹ Action: Re-test sensors in 3 days; if vibration profile normalizes, likely a transient disturbance.
