I'd love to hear more about it! What is it exactly that the package is sensing? I've often thought it would be interesting to record the internal buzzing of a hive, then go on observing the colonies behavior. I have found there is a subtle but noticeable shift in the sound of a hive that has gone queen less, and there is a distinct piping sound that queens will make before swarming or taking their virgin flight. https://archive.org/details/QueenBeesPiping

I've also heard rumors of old timers being able to tell when a colony is hungry just by putting an ear to the hive. It all makes me wonder what other kinds of information we could gather by studying the buzz.
