I came across an article about Eddie Woods and his acoustical swarm detection machine, the Apidictor. There are tons of beehives in my community and I wanted to get involved so I studied Eddie's work and applied an iphone app. to its end. Swarms are a means of bee's reproduction but they drive bee keepers nuts. Eddie described a 'hiss' and a 'warble' occurring at different frequencies. The hiss occurs above 3,000hz after knocking the hive with an open hand. Eddie associated a sharp hiss as a happy hive and associated the warble with a non-laying queen and/or a hive that maybe preparing to swarm.
Using the iphone app n-track and a $5 mic from office depot I was able to filter the audio to required frequency band and listen for the sound indicators. I worked with James Moore on his iphone App. dedicated to predicting SWARMS! Maker Faire New York: Real Time Bee Counter with Cloud Datalogging. From Instructables user hydronics comes this electronic bee-counter that mounts over a hive’s entrance, dividing it into many channels, each as wide as a single bee, and each equipped with a pair of IR reflectance sensors.
When a bee passes through, the order in which the sensors are tripped reveals if it is coming or going. The sensor array is mounted on a custom PCB designed and printed through a local hackerspace, and mounts a Teensy++ for control and USB communication with a laptop, wbere a Processing script uploads the data in real time to Google Drive. Code, circuits, and parts lists at the link, below, or check out the whole project at World Maker Faire this weekend! Honey Bee Counter Related.

We're trying to solve the colony collapse issue by making it easier than ever to keep bees. Contribute now to become a beekeeper or support our research! More Information: What is Colony Collapse Disorder? We're a team of ecologists, beekeepers, makers, engineers, and open source advocates who believe that citizens, rather than governments or corporations, can solve this problem by taking action together. Our team is based in Denver, Barcelona, and Brussels. Fab Lab Barcelona Open Tech Collaborative Valldaura We've designed two downloadable, printable beehives: the Colorado Top Bar, and the Barcelona Warré. Your contribution will help us develop sensors to enhance our hives, connecting them to the Internet to log data about what is causing the bees to disappear around the world.
A Word About the Open Source Ethic and Beekeeping Beekeepers have a long history of sharing ideas, skills, honey and collaborating. The Colorado Top Bar The Barcelona Warré The Smart Citizen Kit - U.S. Smart Citizen : Posts. Hardware Now all the pieces that the SCK consists of will be described.
Along each product a link will be attached which redirects to their datasheet. Core components RTC Clock The core board utilises a crystal oscillator that acts as a 16MHz real time clock. Atmel Mega 32U4-AU As for the central processing unit the SCK uses an AVR chip from Atmel, as the Arduino Leonardo does. Energy modules. Colonymonitoring.com. HiveTool.
