Eyesonhives Presentation
My talk is titled “Eyesonhives: Citizen Science powering a Health Monitor for Honey Bees”. My goal is to make this a short and exciting presentation, practicing for a future TED talk format. I’ll happily answer questions afterwards.
I’ll be talking about
- How a 40+ year old beekeeping trick inspired a state of the art technology breakthrough for beehive monitoring.
- The exciting implications of detecting the Orientation Signal as a bee health pattern.
- Interesting bee behavior patterns such as the swarming signal.
- How mindful individual beekeepers are helping classify the eyesonhives dataset and contribute to helping bees.
In case you missed it – here’s a quick introductory video:
