Abstract
Pollinators serve a crucial role in our global ecosystem by facilitating the reproduction of plants and crops. Despite their vital contribution, factors like urbanization and pesticide use, pose significant threats to the habitats of various pollinator species, such as bees. Therefore, it is increasingly imperative to devise solutions that allow precise and efficient monitoring of their biodiversity. This study presents a low-cost solution based on mmWave Doppler sensor to extract important characteristic wingbeat information of bumblebees through near-field monitoring. By conducting various simulated and real-life experiments, we demonstrate the feasibility of our approach for providing low-cost and effective portable in-field monitoring of pollinators for biodiversity conservation purposes.
