The project I would be most interested in would be mating data
That's the number and length of flights
The timing and the weather conditions

So
What would we need?
what do we know?
We know the flight will be in good weather?
There will be a minimum temperature?
The flight will be in the afternoon?
The flight will last less than 20 minutes?
There will be increased hive activity (noise)before and after the flight?

What would we need to monitor

RTC or LDR ? probably both because poor light represents bad conditions and we need to know and log the actual time of day
Noise detection we need to know when the Queen is about to leave
20 minute timer function the duration of her flight
We need to video mini nuke entrance (probably cheap micro or mini camera)
We need to log time of day, barometric pressure, light conditions, and temperature
Storage on an SD card of that video
Either manual or wireless DATA collection every day

Possible extras might be wireless or GPRS etc

I'm good for the 20min timer lol!

Next step locate and cost the components calculate energy requirements storage etc
Then break the thing down into stages and build /test the various elements
Plug them all together into one program and unit
Design a PCB or shield and etch it (I can do the etching part Lol!)

What do you think ?
