5,000 bees will be equipped with sensors to study the decline of the colonies
A pioneer investigation will equip 5,000 bees in Australia with tiny sensors so that the Colony Collapse Disorder can be studied. The sensors are radio frequency identification and measure about 2.5 mm by 2.5 mm. across these devices, scientists will be able to study how environmental changes influence the behavior of the colonies of bees.The investigation is the result of a partnership between the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization and the University of Tasmania. This is the first time that such a large number of insects will be used for environmental monitoring, referred to Inhabitat.In addition to trying to determine the factors that drive the Colony Collapse Disorder â€" a global phenomenon in which the bees suddenly disappear from their hives-, the study also seeks to find a way to stop the sting of varroa, a mite that causes paralysis of bees.
