Bees in Manchester are having computer chips glued to their bodies, to help beekeepers track when they enter and exit the hive.

Rory Cellan-Jones visited the project to find out how it works.

Interesting. I wondered how the bees would feel with something so big stuck on their backs…

That’s interesting! However, my bees want to stay off the grid, live low key and be free to be a bee! :rofl: :peace_symbol:️:raised_hands::wink::honeybee::honeybee::honeybee:

I wonder what kind of data they are going to collect other that exit and enter. The chips are big!
