I've pasted QR codes on the backs of bees before! Unfortunately we started this project a week before COVID so we didn't get to see it through, but the actual gluing is easier than you might think. Doesn't look like they used it here, but we planned on using James Crall's BEEtag repo [0].

I'm working on something to let you measure animal activity without pasting QRs [1]. I've been running a casual study of my bird feeders since September, and my system will be field-deployed by a few labs this summer. My background is in pollination ecology, so bee/pollinator tracking is a top priority. If you want to study your own backyard, you can use polliOS with your own IP cameras. Targeting March 1 for beta release, but you can submit your email to get notified.
