Nitpick: the article mentions that the bees are tracked with QR Codes, but I find that hard to believe, given the space constraints. In one photo it looks like it is an ArUco marker.

If the bees were exposed to radiation, shouldn't we be testing them for super-powers?

OR try getting teenagers stung by them.
