Lili sent me this link from the BBC about using Diagnostic Radioentomology to get a 3-D view of your beehives without opening it up. The article states that you can even track individual bees and the queen herself…this takes some of the fun out of beekeeping but if you want to avoid crushing your queen and can never seem to find her, this would work.
Wonder if Mr. Neil will order this for our operation?

I saw that! Looks like it’d be interesting. Are you going to be trying to get them to build in a bell- jar this year?
an an avid fan on non-crushed bees, i cast my YES vote on this contraption.
I’d love to be a bee-voyeur with such a James Bond-like contraption. I’ll have to live vicariously through you
ooh i did see that and thought it was quite neato. i dont think it takes the fun out, but adds the technology in. you would still need to open it up, but now you could be bee voyeurs.
did you see this npr thing about bees who make single nests out of flower petals?
