I tried, some years ago, to set up a way beekeepers could do this via
'The Santa Group' but it was a damp squib.  Maybe this group could
design experiments that, all over the world, we could perform
simultaneously to the same protocol and report our findings. Then we
would have science rather than anecdote.

  I suggest that we should do a trial run on something very simple and
see how it works out.  Ideas people?
