N2 - A battery-less 5.8 GHz transmitter, compact andlightweight enough to enable flight of ~90 mg honeybees and freeroaming of bumblebees within their nest, was developed. Thetransmitter was coupled to a compact phased array antennareceiver to achieve angle of arrival (AOA) estimation and beelocalization through a received signal strength indicator approach(RSSI). The receiver was integrated into a commercial UnmannedAerial Vehicle (UAV) to support autonomous position updatesbased on the AOA estimates and a software development kit. Asimple model predicting the system detection range was finallydeveloped and is herein discussed. Our experimental resultsprovide proof of concept towards autonomous tracking of taggedbees both in open air and in polytunnel settings.
