Ag Data Commons migration begins October 18, 2023

The Ag Data Commons is migrating to a new platform – an institutional portal on Figshare. Starting October 18 the current system will be available for search and download only. Submissions will resume after the launch of our portal on Figshare in November. Stay tuned for details!

Measuring factors affecting honey bee attraction to soybeans using bioacoustics monitoring

Audio recorder in soybean field

Honey bee foraging activity in four soybean fields during the blooming period (R2-R3), as well as before or after bloom, was recorded continuously using Sony ICD-PX370 audio recorders affixed to a wooden stake and placed below the soybean canopy, at the height of the highest flowers, approximately 35 m from the field edge. Continuous recordings were broken into 1 hour chunks and recording sequences made at night were discarded. The wingbeat frequency of honey bees (234±13.9 Hz) was identified first using an automated method implemented in Python and using the package scikit-maad. Potential bee sounds were defined as anything within the range of 370-570 Hz with a duration of 1 sec. and a threshold intensity of 0.0001 using the “find_rois_cwt” function. Second, all automated detections were manually corrected by importing label files into the audio software Audacity.
