Visual diagnosis of the Varroa destructor parasitic mite in honeybees using object detector techniques [PDF]
Sensors, 21-8 (2021), 2764-2780, 2021 The Varroa destructor mite is one of the most dangerous Honey Bee (Apis mellifera) parasites worldwide and the bee colonies have to be regularly monitored in order to control its spread. Here we present an object detector based method for health state monitoring of bee colonies. This method has the potential for online measurement and processing.
