52 Swarm Sensing aims to better understand what's causing bee Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD), a condition decimating honey bee populations worldwide. Up to 5000 sensors, measuring 2.5mm x 2.5mm, are being fitted to the backs of bees in Hobart, Tasmania, before being released into the wild. The sensors record the bees passing particular checkpoints, allowing researchers to use signals to construct a comprehensive 3D model and visualise how the insects move through the landscape. Some bees will feed at sites with trace amounts of commonly used chemicals, allowing researchers to assess how pesticides, believed to be a cause of CCD, affect bee movement. Better understanding bee behaviour will allow farmers and fruit growers to maximise the potential for pollination, boosting productivity and helping in monitoring biosecurity risks.
