I tried, but I kept running afoul of the Heisenberg Apiary Principle. I couldn’t count the bees without killing them.

Have you tried raising your bees in a Schrödinger’s box? (Not a Schrödinger’s catbox, the other kind.) It works great so long as you don’t open the box.
Update: added Wikipedia link.
Update 2: added missing word “you”.

I first read this as farting and got excited. “Bees farting!” I thought to myself. Then I re-read it, and was disappointed.

I guess this answers the old, “Two bees or not two bees?”

What’s this? A thread trying to determine if it’s properly populated with bees?

That gif is shooped, it’s the same couple of bees repeated, I can tell by the pixels! Fake news!

Mmm, that could be of interest to my beekeeper of an uncle.
Err… it’s Mat Kelcey.
They aren’t on the database yet

That sounds better than bee license backpacks. It’s hard enough for them to fly in the first place without having to lug a backpack around, and be called nerds by the other bees.

I want to use a Raspberry Pi to measure the traffic at our hummingbird feeder. I might take a look to see if I can steal adapt anything from this project. (Motion detection might be good enough. It’s very rare to have more than one at a time, so counting them isn’t an issue.)
This UofT setup is clever, but it looks like a hummingbird NMR.
