So practical usage would be alerting if warble sounds occure.

Also a LED signal responding to the hiss would be a quite nice on-field use and interaction: knocking on the hive: "everything alright?" - and the sensor answers with green (shor sharp hiss), red (sluggish hiss) or no light (nobody there!)..?

Quite complex  statistical  analysing required and basic data. Question would be, if every hive responds in the same way to pollution/desease, so that collected data could be compared with new positioned hives.

If that's possible the OSBH could set up a world wide pollution map with beehives!

Acoustic analysis can be used to determine the health status and mood of the bees.

apidictor patent

frequencies to measure:

  • 180-190 Hz ("normal"): healthy bee sound in quiet period (night?)
  • ~220-290 Hz ( "warble"): if that sound occurs, queen's rate of egg laying has diminished.
  • >3000 Hz ("hiss") : sound occurs by clapping or knocking on the hive.
    • short sharp hiss: healthy queen
    • sluggish rise in hiss with slow fade: abnormality

interpretation of the sounds

warble hiss interpretion
yes sluggish rise and fall, max intensy much less than normal. "at time of issue it has vanished" swarming activity. possibly noticeable 15 days before swarming.
yes short sharp hiss age or deformity of the queen
yes on hiss vanishes completly death or removal of queen

So practical usage would be alerting if warble sounds occure. Also a LED signal responding to the hiss would be a quite nice on-field use and interaction: knocking on the hive: "everything alright?" - and the sensor answers with green (shor sharp hiss), red (sluggish hiss) or no light (nobody there!)..?
