Hive Camera

The original webcam case, which wouldn't have worked in the hive.  I needed something much more bee-proof

The final assembly.  Its made of a PVC pipe sawn lengthwise with a plate of glass epoxied to the cut.  One of the ends of the pipe has a small square piece of fiberglass epoxied to it.  The other end is also made of fiberglass, but is held in place by a piece of wire.  The camera housing is then attached to a top bar with the same wire that holds it together and an additional short length of PVC pipe to act as a spacer. 

The back of the camera housing. 

The camera housing disassembled.

My cat, Patrick, helping me focus the camera. 

  One of my first in-hive videos. Not nearly as exciting as I would have hoped.
