Excited to be included in this conversation thank you Peter!


This is another thing that some people miss. Just staring at the entrances
for a while can tell you a bunch. In fact, my friends in Santa Barbara have
software that tracks flight activity over time and it's pretty interesting.

Storch's book was one of the inspirations for us to develop a tool to
constantly monitor hive activity electronically.

EyesOnHives quantifies flight activity levels - the signal creates a record of
forager activity, orientation, swarming, robbing etc.  You can look for things
like pollen income in the videos too since you can actually see the bees (a
little easier to interpret than scale weight data!).

The tech also makes it very easy to see and review what's on the landing board
every single morning (without walking over every single time), both with
video, and timelapse.  Here's a post collecting all these thoughts, a
screenshot from this morning, and a quick youtube upload of this hive's
timelapse yesterday.
