The North Shropshire Beekeepers' Association was founded on the 23rd August 1945 as a fully affiliated member of the British Beekeepers' Association (BBKA). The aims of the association are, "to encourage and develop the art and science of bee keeping"
As we use mesh floors we can use the camera looking up from underneath. It shows exactly where the cluster is and how large the cluster/colony is. There are a large number of dead bees on the floor in the picture, usually they would keep the floors clear so worth making a note of that for later.

The one used here is a small FLIR one thermal imaging camera unit which clips onto a smartphone. Works well enough for us. It doesn’t really alter what we do but it is just another bit of information like hefting your hives.
