Tracking the Killer Bees
From United Press International
Martin-Marietta engineers at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory are designing a tiny prototype silicon chip to track the migration of Africanized bees.
The micro-miniature transmitter shown above mounted for testing on a European drone bee eventually will be glued to an Africanized “killer bee.” The signals, detectable up to a mile, will enable scientists to locate and track the intruders that are expected to migrate into Texas from Mexico by next year.
