Some of the techniques used are: Direct search, Bee–lining, Local Knowledge, Drone or worker trapping coupled with indirect genetic analysis, etc.

> However, indirect measures of colony density are subject to various limitations (reviewed by Utaipanon, Holmes, et al., 2019; Williamson et al., 2022), which make it difficult to detect wild colonies living at low densities in areas with many managed colonies (Kohl & Rutschmann, 2018).
