There are chips that can be used to track bees - but you'd be playing a  
gamble - gluing chips on individual bees, then hoping some of those would be CCD  
bees who left.  Also, range is very short for bee-borne chips.
 
By summer, we hope to have a laser system that could track bees as they  fly, 
mapping every bee -without the need to use chips.

We already have the lasers, some of which can reach a mile.  But,  we need to 
get one built that we can use for non-military purposes.  So  far, our 
technology is still in testing phase for DoD.
