DEVICES AND METHODS FOR MONITORING AND ELIMINATION OF HONEY BEE PARASITES

摘要

Automatic detection and elimination of mites through laser exposure is provided. In various embodiments, light is emitted into a target area from at least one light source. Light reflected from a target within the target area is detected by at least one photodetector. A signal is produced proportional to an intensity of the reflected light. A laser pulse is emitted into the target area by a laser emitter when the signal exceeds a predetermined threshold.
