Hive Monitoring

Advisors: Richard Howard, Richard Martin

Overview

This study attempts to prove whether or not bees are impacted by radiofrequency waves, a phenomenon noticed in many birds. Utilizing pipes to connect to the beehive as well as a raspberry pi to run current into the pipe system, the camera in the raspberry pi will record the motion of the bees in the pipe. Utilizing machine learning techniques, we will run the video scripts to detect if there is any noticeable change in the bee motion.
