Your apiary has stabilized significantly since yesterday's critical alert. All four hives are now reporting telemetry and showing recovery patterns, particularly Hive #3 (node_547) which has climbed 3.56°C overnight and restored normal communications. The outdoor environment remains stressed (IAQ 96, elevated eCO2 and bVOC), but your colonies are adapting. Three hives show temperature well-positioned for early morning in late June, though acoustic microphone fouling persists across all sensors—limiting real-time diagnostic precision. A physical inspection this week remains important to confirm colony strength and queen presence.

node_2662 healthy Score: 72/100📋 Overall Health
Your Iris hive has recovered nicely overnight, with brood temperature now at a comfortable 33.43°C—well within the optimal 34–36°C range for active brood rearing and a reassuring +2.63°C climb from yesterday's 30.8°C low. The 24-hour average of 31.8°C remains 2.4°C below your all-time norm of 34.2°C, but this is consistent with late June seasonal contraction and normal early-morning cooling. Humidity at 47% is ideal. Gas metrics show moderate activity: eCO2 at 1148 ppm (well below your 782 ppm baseline) and bVOC at 2.17 ppm (38% of your typical 5.7 ppm), indicating a calm, efficiently-organized colony. Your sound spectrum continues to show the microphone-fouling signature observed yesterday (lower frequencies suppressed, higher frequencies elevated), but the overall acoustic trend is stable.
⚠️ Issue: Brood temperature 2.4°C below all-time average, though current reading is healthy.⚠️ Issue: Sound spectrum shifted from baseline (lower-frequency suppression suggests microphone fouling or acoustic sensitivity loss).⚠️ Issue: Early-morning reading artificially suppresses 24-hour temperature average—day-time recovery expected.▹ Action: Monitor temperature through today; expect gradual climb toward 34–35°C as ambient warms (outdoor temp currently 22.65°C, forecast shows warming pattern).▹ Action: Schedule a physical inspection within 3–5 days to confirm queen presence (look for fresh eggs), assess brood pattern, and clean the microphone gently.▹ Action: No urgent action needed today. This hive is performing at its seasonal baseline and showing healthy recovery from overnight cooling. -
node_44812 warning Score: 65/100📋 Overall Health
Your Hive #1 shows an interesting pattern this morning: temperature at 32.76°C is healthy and stable (24-hour average 32.1°C matches your all-time baseline of 31.7°C exactly), yet eCO2 is notably elevated at 1582 ppm (25% above your baseline of 1267 ppm) and bVOC at 5.81 ppm sits right at your historical average of 5.88 ppm. This combination suggests active metabolic work—fanning, nectar processing, or brood care—which is perfectly normal for a healthy June colony. However, the sound spectrum is significantly suppressed compared to baseline (max deviation 30.8 dB), with all frequency bands below normal, indicating either heavy microphone fouling or an acoustic shift worth investigating during inspection. Vibration is calm and well-organized (kurtosis 2.7, normal ~3.0), showing no signs of disturbance.
⚠️ Issue: Sound spectrum heavily suppressed across all bands (max -30.8 dB deviation from baseline), consistent with microphone fouling observed in other hives.⚠️ Issue: eCO2 elevated to 1582 ppm (25% above baseline 1267 ppm)—suggests increased fanning/ventilation activity, likely benign but worth monitoring.⚠️ Issue: Acoustic fouling prevents real-time diagnostic assessment of queen status or swarm precursors.▹ Action: Temperature and vibration readings are reassuring; no immediate concern.▹ Action: Schedule inspection within 3–5 days to: (1) visually confirm queen presence and active brood pattern, (2) assess population by frame coverage, (3) clean the microphone.▹ Action: Listen to the hive with your ear during inspection—if buzz intensity is strong and normal, the elevated eCO2 is consistent with active fanning during nectar ripening or warm weather. This is healthy.▹ Action: If microphone is heavily fouled (visible propolis/debris), clean gently; this should restore acoustic sensitivity immediately. -
node_34225 healthy Score: 78/100📋 Overall Health
Excellent news—Hive #2 (node_34225) has restored telemetry contact after 24+ hours offline, and the current readings are strong. Brood temperature at 35.07°C sits solidly in the optimal 34–36°C range, and the 24-hour average of 34.8°C matches your all-time norm of 34.0°C perfectly, showing this colony is performing at baseline strength. Humidity at 42.4% is healthy. Battery has charged significantly overnight (+878 mV from yesterday's low of 3146 mV to today's 4024 mV), indicating the charging circuit is functioning properly. Gas metrics show moderate eCO2 at 1185 ppm (20% above your baseline of 989 ppm) and low bVOC at 2.36 ppm (22% below baseline), consistent with normal foraging and fanning activity. Sound spectrum shows the same microphone-fouling pattern as other hives, but spectral stability indicates acoustic character is unchanged.
⚠️ Issue: Microphone fouling confirmed (lower-frequency suppression, shifted spectrum from baseline).⚠️ Issue: Battery previously depleted to 3070 mV (now recovered); monitor charging to ensure sustained recovery.⚠️ Issue: eCO2 moderately elevated above baseline (1185 vs 989 ppm), but consistent with June foraging activity—not concerning in isolation.▹ Action: No emergency action required. This hive is healthy and has recovered from the telemetry loss.▹ Action: On your next inspection (within 3–5 days), visually confirm the sensor is clean and the colony appears strong (full frame coverage, active brood pattern, queen present).▹ Action: Clean or inspect the microphone to restore acoustic sensitivity.▹ Action: Continue monitoring battery trajectory; if it drops below 3500 mV again, consider a battery replacement during your next visit. -
node_547 warning Score: 68/100📋 Overall Health
Remarkable turnaround for Hive #3 overnight: brood temperature has rebounded dramatically from yesterday's alarming 29.38°C to today's healthy 32.94°C—a +3.56°C recovery in 24 hours. The hourly trend shows a steady climb from 27.5°C (overnight low) to 33.0°C (current peak), indicating the colony has re-established active brood comb heating or the sensor has moved closer to the brood nest—either way, this is excellent news. However, gas metrics remain elevated: eCO2 at 1742 ppm (70% above your baseline of 1024 ppm) and bVOC at 8.36 ppm (89% above your baseline of 4.42 ppm). This persistent dual elevation mirrors yesterday's pattern and warrants investigation on-site, though the temperature recovery suggests the colony is metabolically active and responding. Humidity at 44% is stable and healthy. Sound spectrum shows the same microphone fouling seen across all hives.
⚠️ Issue: eCO2 and bVOC both remain substantially elevated (70% and 89% above baseline respectively), sustained from yesterday's critical readings.⚠️ Issue: 7-day temperature trend shows dramatic recovery today (+3.6°C overnight), breaking the multi-day decline observed in historical data, but the gas elevation suggests ongoing metabolic stress or fermentation.⚠️ Issue: Sound spectrum heavily suppressed (microphone fouling), preventing acoustic diagnosis of queen status or colony organization.▹ Action: INSPECT THIS HIVE WITHIN 3–5 DAYS (no longer an emergency given the temperature recovery, but this week is essential). Prioritize in this order:▹ Action: (1) Look for fresh eggs (laid in last 24–48 hours) on multiple frames—this definitively confirms queen presence and active laying.▹ Action: (2) Assess brood pattern: solid and continuous (healthy) or spotty/disorganized (possible disease or recent queen loss)?▹ Action: (3) Evaluate population by frame coverage—has the colony shrunk, or is population recovering?▹ Action: (4) Smell test: detect any sour fermentation odor (would indicate trapped moisture and elevated CO2 driving fermentation) or normal honey/wax smell?▹ Action: (5) Check entrance: is it fully clear and unobstructed? Poor airflow could explain CO2 accumulation.▹ Action: (6) Clean the microphone.▹ Action: INTERPRETATION GUIDE: If you find fresh eggs + solid brood + normal population and smell—this colony is HEALTHY, and the gas elevation reflects active fanning/nectar ripening during colony reorganization. Ensure entrance is fully open and ventilation unobstructed; CO2 should normalize within 48–72 hours. If you find NO eggs, spotty brood, or visibly smaller population—queenlessness is likely (despite temperature recovery); emergency requeening is still required. If you detect sour fermentation smell—ventilation blockage is causing CO2 accumulation; remove obstacles, open bottom board fully, and monitor CO2 recovery daily.▹ Action: Temperature recovery is a strong positive sign; do not delay inspection, but treat this as a moderate-priority investigation rather than an emergency.
