"Dr Martin Bencsik, a physicist at Nottingham Trent University, is now developing a device that can automatically detect the signs of disease in bees to give bee keepers an early warning of any infections in a colony and hopefully allow them to take action.

It detects distinct vibrations that the insects pass through the honeycomb in their hives to warn others in the colony about possible threats"
