Hi all,

We have a project that wraps this month.  We also have a last minute
opportunity to test a multi-array microphone system for tracking bees
before we run out of time and  money.


The firm with specialty equipment is located in Bellevue, WA.  We want to
make a fast trip out before the month ends to test their system (using
their electronics and our sound recording systems.  We would need access to
or permission to move a
couple of hives that we would then:

a) Train the bees to find a marked target
b) Monitor  bees at the target with an 8-microphone array

We would need access to or ability to move a few colonies for a 24-48 hr
test.  No harm should come to the bees, and we
would PAY 'rent' on the hives.

Not sure yet whether it would be easier to move the hives to the backdoor
of the electronics firm in Bellevue, or bring the
equipment to a beeyard.

Roy N. or others, can you give us a hand?

Thanks
