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.
Hi all,
By applying the model we tried to follow the guide on arduino for image classifaction with Edge impuls.
And as usual in engineering we found some challenges
The first one was uploading pictures with the IDE:
But do not worry if...
Intro
This project has been a whole education into bees and and a real highlight is that the other contestants have been a great source of knowledge on the subject. I love it when a project results in this much new knowledge. My project was ambitious...
Sugar shaking
Sugar shaking of honey bees is a passive method to detect external parasites such as Varroa mites, Tropilaelaps mites, and Braula fly. It is a quick and easy method that does not kill the honey bees sampled. The method works by the fine...
Intro
This blog is part of the Save the Bees Design Challenge. Normally LoRa is not considered to be suitable for transmitting images due to its low bandwidth, but I am pushing on that boundary in this project to explore its usefulness in application...
As mentioned in ZinnBee Blog#04, I did a LEGO lab via Nicla Vision. I found that the performance of ML from Edge Impulse classification was limited and the results were not quite good enough for ZinnBee project. I paused the LEGO lab until now.  ...
Bees are definitely an important part of the ecosystem and play a key role as a pollinator of plant life, including that of crops, while also producing honey. The emergence of colony collapse disorder has revealed the complex challenges which bees ar...
Now that we have our "real" bee and hornet ready for showtime, I had to rebuild the Edge Impulse model from scratch using pictures of the new characters.
The cast is ready for action!
Behind the scenes on the set:
I took about 50 images each of ...
The Save the Bees challenge has provided the development kit to the selected participant with two development boards. They are Arduino Nicla vision and Arduino MKR WAN 1310. These development platforms are quite useful in the project ideas that one m...
As we count down the days to the end of the Save the Bees Design Challenge, a regret I carry from my last post is that I didn’t attempt any AI-based inferencing now that I have a Nicla Vision board in my hand. In this post, we’ll try to c...
