Quantitative assessments of honeybee colony’s response to an artificial vibrational pulse resulting in non-invasive measurements of colony’s overall mobility and restfulness
Abstract In this work we aim to provide a quantitative method allowing the probing of the physiological status of honeybee colonies by providing them with a gentle, short, external artificial vibrational shockwave, and recording their response. The knock is provided by an external electromagnetic sh...
