The flight activity of a honey bee colony is an impor-tant indicator of its strength and condition. We propose the use of video sensing to monitor arrivals and depar-tures at the hive entrance. We describe the challenges of tracking and counting bees visually in the uncontrolled outdoor environment of an apiary, and detail a hard-ware platform and software algorithms we have devel-oped to meet many of those challenges. Finally, we dis-cuss our preparations for rigorously evaluating the pro-posed monitoring system and describe early results. 1
