Camera on colony (IMAGE) Penn State Caption The researchers used commercially available equipment to install a tracking camera that runs 24 hours a day, seven days a week at the entrance of every colony across six apiaries. On this colony, the camera is housed in a protective box, labeled W5, above a small slit for bees to enter or exit. The equipment cost less than $1,500 in total per apiary, which includes six colonies.
