In recent scientific studies, we've seen bees being tracked with clunky
RFID chips glued to their backs.  New technology is far better.  The
following release describes chips that are as small as dust.

Such tiny chips would have far less chance of altering bees' behavior, and
could improve behavioral research.

I also don't see any reason that with three antennae, the exact location of
the queen couldn't be tracked within a hive.
