About

This bee, modeled after the Minecraft bee, is constructed from cardboard and painted with acrylics. There are two slits on top of the bee where the chipboard wings slide through and are glued to paperclips attached to the servo motor. When the Arduino is powered and the ultrasonic sensor on the bottom of the bee detects a distance < 0.5", the servo motor turns 90 degrees, moving the wings. There is a passive buzzer attached to the breadboard to mimic the buzzing of bees.
