I’m wondering where, on the list of potential causes of CCD, carbon monoxide and nitrogen dioxide land. And I’m wondering how much of these two molecules bees produce endogenously within the hive (I’m betting zero). As Alaeric says, the sensors are likely to get covered w/ propolis PDQ - why (if you’re worried about CO & NO2 - I’m not) would you put the sensor inside the hive?
Beekeeping has a long, cool, knowledge-rich history (see Abbé Émile Warré as a starter). Slapping on buzzwords and whatever sensor is most available doesn’t seem like a good use of time to me.
