The Big Bee Project: Advancing Research Through 3D Bee Modeling

Creative Commons 'BY-NC' version 4.0 license
Abstract

Massive declines of bee populations around the world are a growing concern. There is limited information on how physical traits of bees hinder or support their declining populations. Photogrammetry proves to be a viable option for creating accurate models of bees which can then be measured and investigated. Certain conditions optimize the 3D modeling process and lead to more accurate models.
