Scientists are making a beeline for RFID technology to open up new frontiers of research into insect behaviour. Tiny RFID chips have been attached to hundreds of bees at labs in east London by researchers at Queen Mary, University of London, using the process seen here.

The chips allow researchers to monitor the movements of the entire 200-strong bee colony using RFID readers attached to the hive and artificial flowers.
