Satellites, Beekeepers Track Climate Change Response
May 28, 2008 -- High-tech satellites combined with low-tech methods on the ground will soon be used to help understand how bees are responding to climate change, and to predict how far aggressive Africanized bees -- sometimes called "killer bees" -- will spread in North America.
The project combines two passions for leader Wayne Esaias of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md. Esaias is an oceanographer who specializes in remote sensing via craft such as satellites -- and a master amateur beekeeper.

Mapping of agriculture crops using satellite remote sensing is very useful to beekeeper. The crop map could be used to estimate how much honey and bee pollen could be harvested from the field.
