https://edspace.american.edu/openbehavior/project/robotic-flower-system-bee-behavior/

Portal provides system of robotic artificial flowers to study bumble bee behavior. System is designed to capture data when animal is feeding by placement of IR beams that are broken when engaged on flowers feeding mechanism and sends data to control unit.Developed by University of Oulu in Finland scientists. System includes control unit, separate artificial flowers, and personal computer. Control unit is to handle electronics of flowers, collect data from them, and to send data to computer. Flowers contain infrared sensor, their associated electronics, and electromechanical device that offers small, precise amount of sugar solution from reservoir. Computer runs software that controls refilling rate and data collection via the control unit. Circuit diagrams, parts list, and control software and source code are available in paper supplemental information.
