The Challenge has come to a close, and we'd like to congratulate the winners! See how they combined their technical prowess and love for the environment in their bee projects.
I've selected the Buzz3 Audio Dataset to test model development and deployment to the Nicla Vision board using the Edge Impulse toolset. I discussed this dataset in my previous post - Bee Healthy - Blog 4: Audio Dataset.
The Buzz3 data...
I had contemplated using either the camera or microphone on the Nicla Vision to do image or audio classification to monitor the health of a bee hive. The challenge in either case is to build or obtain a labeled dataset in order to create a...
I plan to use The Things Network (TTN) as the cloud interface to my Node-Red Dashboard, so I needed to verify that it was working properly. Back in 2019 I had won a Things Network Kickstarter Gateway in the Project14 IoT: In the Cloud ...
A positive aspect of the "Save the Bees Challenge" is that I'm learning a lot about bees and plants in Oregon. I've never really thought about bees being active during the winter. Or even where bees in winter would come ...
I have been a bee-friendly gardener over 10 years. Save the Bees design challenge touched my heart since I love bees. I am living in Minnesota, US. In the United States there are more than 4,000 species of native bees. Contrary to popular belief, the...
All around the world, there is overwhelming evidence that pollinator communities are both changing and declining. Key drivers of these changes include land use change, changes in land management including the use of pesticides and genetically modifie...
2Bee Or Not 2BeeThat is the question, lets see if machine vision can answer that question.
BackgroundBees are incredible creatures that are fundamentally important to our food supply as well as the entire world's eco system, and they face many signif...

Still waiting for my challenger hardware kit - haven't seen a shipping notification yet, so I thought I'd work on the solar power supply for the project. I am building it using a surplus solar panel and a USB power bank that I have available in...
I was selected as one of the many (24) challengers in the Save the Bees - Design Challenge. While waiting for the hardware kit Arduino Pro Nicla Vision board + MKR1310, I thought I'd review my project proposal.
An excerpt from my appli...
