Apidictor
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An apidictor is an instrument which measures and records the sound in a beehive. The instrument records the aggregate sound made by the buzzing of the bees' wings, and may help with predicting when a colony is preparing to swarm.[1]
Edward Farrington Woods, a BBC sound engineer,[2] invented and patented the apidictor in 1952,[3] and sold 300 worldwide.[1]
