You might even use four or five different colors so that you could detect
recruitment of different bees from your observation hive. Have two people
doing the observations, one at the observation hive and one at the target
"nectar" source.
It might be interesting to feed the obs hive with a syrup flavoured with an
essential oil and then have a source of the same scent but without syrup say
half a mile away and see what happens at each end. Or rather than essential
oil how about a touch of your favourite lady's perfume!
