Bee Counter

thingiverse

This is a bee counter for use with alcohol washes, to give a moderately accurate count of bees regardless of how many you get into the tube. Usage: 1. dump bees into jar. 2. add alcohol and swish around 3. filter bees out through tube into another jar 4. add inner tube to count bees 5. count mites in second jar 6. Get hyper-accurate mite count! This is based on the count of 660 bees per cup *POST* wash (i.e. dead bees). Once you've washed the bees in the tube, tap the tube down on a surface to get an accurate count of bees (This hasn't been verified yet...) Warning: This is licensed for non-commercial production. Please contact me direclty if you want to discuss commercialising this; otherwise, this is purely for hobbyists who wish to use this to accurately count their bees.
