Tiny backpacks help researchers keep tabs on bees

Researchers in the United Kingdom are suiting up bumblebees with tiny backpacks to track their movements and behaviour.

The scientists are hoping to work out why there's been a decline in the bee population, which helps produce the world's food supply.

The backpacks are attached using superglue while the bees are pinned down using needles.
