Scientists Develop Sensors for Beekeeping

A crucial event in beekeeping is 'swarming'. Swarming can be bad news for beekeepers. When a queen bee departs, she takes half the hive with her, leaving a weaker hive behind. With advance warning, it's possible to set up a "bait" hive, to lure in the departing bees, but if the events are not managed properly, swarming can mean half the hive is lost entirely.
