A camera watches a hive's landing board, detecting each bee that crosses in or out, drawing a live bounding box, and rolling those detections into a running activity index — just like the small edge-computing devices real apiaries use.

🔬 What It Demonstrates

Bees crossing the green detection zone trigger a simulated model pass: a confidence roll against your threshold decides whether the bee is flagged (green box) or missed (red dashed box), and every detection feeds a rolling activity chart on the monitor panel.

🎮 How to Use

Raise the traffic rate to see busier crossings, lower the confidence threshold to see more false negatives, and flip on low-light / IR mode to see how poor lighting degrades detection — the same trade-off real hive-cam hardware has to manage.

💡 Did You Know?

Production bee-counters typically log only aggregate in/out counts from an edge device rather than streaming raw video, because a rural apiary rarely has the bandwidth to upload continuous footage.
