Abstract

For the research on the bees flight, the experimental platform combined of smoke wind tunnel and high speed camera has been set up. The information of bees flight on the plane can be synchronously recorded by two high speed cameras. By the analysis of pixel coordinates of bees wings on the photographs, the changing rules of wings in the space can be obtained with the establishment of bees space coordinates system. As a result, the changing rules of position angle and stroke angle can also be obtained. With the analysis, we have found that the duration of up-flapping is different with that of down-flapping. During the terminal stage, the wings accelerate quickly. During the period when down-flapping turns into up-flapping, the wings rotation takes part of the duration. And during the rotation, the stroke angle scarcely changes.
