Overview

This study attempts to prove whether or not bees are impacted by radiofrequency waves, a phenomenon noticed in many birds. We utilized pipes to connect to the beehive, and attached a raspberry pi to run current into the system and record videos of the bees. The current represents the radiofrequency waves. After this, we utilized machine learning to see if there was any detectable change in bee motion.
