Raspberry Pis used to track bees at Kew Gardens

This one is guaranteed to get my buzzing phobia going!

A Newcastle-based engineer has developed a system to track the flight paths and behaviour of bees at London’s Kew Gardens. A pack consisting of a tiny RFID tag and an aerial is glued to the back of each individual bee and the tags are then read by multiple Pis which are dotted around the hive and flower patch. You can read more about it on the BBC’s website.
