• Resumen

  • The article discusses research by Martin Bencsik and colleagues at Nottingham Trent University in England, investigating changing sounds within a bee hive. Topics include the team's installation of sensors, called accelerometers, in the bee hives to measure vibrations caused by bee activity and sounds, a hypothesis that changes in bee sounds may signal disease, and the challenge of identifying the causes of bees' decline.
