Thermometers for bees

Video September 03, 2024

A bee family can consist of thousands of bees. In order to measure their temperature and find out whether the bees are doing well, many small clinical thermometers are needed. Dr. Stanislav Balouchev and his team are researching this. They were featured in a television report on SWR.
