Social pollinators are a critical part of both natural and agricultural ecosystems, and a great source of inspiration for engineered swarms. Recently, researchers have produced a range of systems for automated monitoring of honey bee entrances to further insights on e.g. collective foraging, labor distribution, and suppression of disease transmission. In this article, we detail the design of a system customized for capturing top and side view photos of bumble bees as they enter and exit their hives. We show how these photos can be used to automatically track foraging activity, identify individuals, and characterize bee size and pollen presence. To aid technology adoption by biologists, our design is specifically optimized for low cost and easy fabrication, operation, and maintenance. Over two iterations, the entrance has been used on 8 hives in greenhouse and field over 10 weeks.
