Dave,
What type of research do most want to see over there?

I've been messing around with ideas for how one might
one develop a simple test which may determine "The
influence of corolla width on foraging preferences
between large and small cell honeybees."

I have a rough draft drawn up on how the test might be
done, but I believe I need to get some imput from
others.  Would this be something your group might be
interested in discussing?  I have ideas in creating
the corollas, but I am looking for ideas on how one
might simulate the nectaries buried deep within
inflorescence such as red clover.
