Biotracks: Tracking Bees With Drones

“>Video of Biotracks: Tracking Bees With Drones

Insects and bird populations are in rapid decline, seriously impacting global ecosystems and international food security. To help solve the problem we need a detailed understanding of what is happening to our pollinators.

But how do you track a bee?

Dr Tonya Lander and her cross-department team at the Oxford University Biology department and the Department of Engineering Science have been investigating.

Their BioTracks technology has an answer: the smallest ever harmonic radar tags.

This technology could improve our understanding of insect and bird migration as well opening up a world of exciting new future applications.
