 | Honey bees (Apis mellifera L.) are multi-media monitors of chemical exposures and biotic effects. This six-year project has developed an automated system to assess in real-time colony behavioral responses to stressors, both anthropogenic and natural, including inclement weather. It also addressed chemical exposures by measuring the concentrations of volatile and semi-Volatile organic chemicals in ambient air and the air inside beehives, persistent pesticides and PCBs in bees and pollen, and ... |

| Honey bees (Apis mellifera L.) are multi-media monitors of chemical exposures and biotic effects. This five-year project has developed an automated system to assess in real-time colony behavioral responses to stressors, both anthropogenic and natural, including inclement weather. 1998 field trials at the Aberdeen Proving Ground-Edgewood area included the Old O Field and J Field landfills, D Field and Boundary Areas, and a Churchville, MD reference ... |

| Honey bees (Apis mellifera L.) have been shown to be multi-media monitors of chemical exposures and resultant effects. This five-year project has developed an automated system to assess in real-time colony behavioral responses to stressors, both anthropogenic and natural, including inclement weather. Field trials at the Aberdeen Proving Ground-Edgewood included the Old O Field and J field landfills, the Canal Creek and Bush River areas, and a Churchville, MD reference ... |

| Honey bees (Apis mellifera L.) have been shown to be multi-media monitors of chemical exposures and biotic effects. However, most methods of measuring honey bee colony population dynamics have been time-intensive and subject to observer error. This four-year project has developed an automated system to assess continuously (in real-time) colony flight activity, temperature and relative humidity in the brood nest, total hive biomass, pollen collected, and a full spectrum of ... |
