A thief could try to track the tracker, and remove it or even just leave that hive behind.
- petre 8y agoBetter still, jam all GPS, GNSS, GPRS and 3G and 4G signals, along with 2.4, 5 Ghz and LoRa bands just to be sure. Specialized car thieves are already doing it, hive thieves probably not yet. Tracking and removing the tracker is more difficult and can be done later.
- bayesian_horse 8y agoJamming the GPS receiver or anything else on site would trigger an alert. Then law enforcement has a very small amount of time to arrive at a very remote location...
- TimTheTinker 8y agoRemote systems could throw an alert if the tracking devices go dark past a timeout period. At a minimum, authorities could be quickly alerted with the last known location of the hives.
- gonyea 8y agoI don’t think you can really do that. Jamming mostly targets a receiver. Disrupting the signal that’s emitted by a tracking device would make you really easy to triangulate and find.
- amenod 8y agoNo need for that either, you could just jam the GPS receiver.

Brand the frames, brand the box and lock the hell out of everything. A fair portion of thefts have been performed by staff at companies too, so that’s worth keeping in mind. Also, get on with neighbours. Putting masses of hives up against a propert boundary, specifically to target Manuka that’s grown next door tends to rile people up.

- stephengillie 8y agoCan we track all cell phones in the field? It might be easier to track thieves than hives.
