  • Bee count from camera feed sent via LoRa
  • Measured power using solar panel
  • < 1 A

Weatherizing

  • Chose a case
  • Accomodation for radio
  • Propping up camera

Audio analysis

  • We produce the spectrogram of the audio signal to visualize it
  • Isolating certain frequencies to separate background noise from bees
  • Looking for ways to detect bee quantity, a few issues
  • Compare sounds of a healthy hive to those of an unhealthy hive

Plans for Next Week

  • Testing functionality of radios with longer distances
  • Optimizing algorithm to adjust to camera positioning
  • Implement system on farm once we finish testing (and get proper materials)
