     No documentation, but I just heard on TV from a fellow who did a bee
beard on the Carson show a number of years ago that a worker bee travels
at 17 MPH.  He clains he can outrun one with the proper incentive.
 
     In response to Ron's question about queen colors, having ordered
from a number of breeders, I have NEVER gotten a marked queen that
corresponded to to "standard" colors.  I now mark my own primarily to
identify supercedure.
