As bio indicators, honeybees provide us with a constant stream of information on the environment (urban, countryside) on which they forage (activity, pollen, nectar). Diseases like colony collapse disorder and environmental problems like the use of pesticides could be analysed in a different way by monitoring and analysing the daily activity (audio, video) of several bee colonies over multiple years. | As bio indicators, honeybees provide us with a constant stream of information on the environment (urban, countryside) on which they forage (activity, pollen, nectar).

In our test station in Brussels city center, we have 2 beehives equipped with off the shelf-technology for monitoring bee activity at the landing platform (2 x video, outside and inside) and for monitoring the health and development of the colony by sound recordings of its activity (8 x audio, inside). The test station also hosts 4 non tech. equipped beehives which are usefull to make observations at the flighthole and to compare these findings with the results of the digitally monitored hives. | In our test station in Brussels city center, we have 2 beehives equipped with off the shelf-technology for monitoring bee activity at the landing platform (2 x video, outside and inside) and for monitoring the health and development of the colony by sound recordings of its activity (8 x audio, inside).

+ | Beginning of august I started to make some audiorecordings with a separate shotgun microphone, additional to the 8 microphones setup in the beehive | ||
+ | Compared to the audiorecordings from inside the hive where the focus is merely on the behaviour of the colony as a whole (the super organism) we here distinct clearly the individual movements of the foragers returning to or departing from the landing platform. | ||

+ | Lower left (movie dd. 2014/06/20): There is still action on the platform, as all available worker bees need to find food (nectar but mostly pollen) to feed the larves. It takes 21 days for a bee to grow from an egg to an imago (fullgrown bee) and hatch the cell. | ||
