Thanks Kirk. At this stage I am determining costs, which will run a few
thousand to purchase trapped pollen, to have the pattties independently
spiked and prepared, and for the testing of samples for pesticide level and
viruses. There will also be the cost of labor, and if the clothianidin
causes colonies to crash, the loss of ten colonies just prior to almonds.
IF I get the beekeeping leadership and the research community to buy into
this trial, then I will shop for funding. I will then let the List know if
I need more support.
Thank you for your support!
