Acoustic Monitoring: Honey Bee Colonies (2D)

A live 2D buzz-frequency spectrogram of a monitored beehive: switch the colony state between healthy, queenless and pre-swarm to see the ~250 Hz fundamental hum shift into an erratic higher-pitched band or a periodic queen-piping/tooting pattern, with a frequency-analysis readout that highlights the diagnostic band.
