Randy,Last year I had the pleasure of taking one of the research techs,Eli Powell, around to a couple of my yards where we sampled the "best" and the "worst".We also sampled 2 bee trees.Maybe they've already started a project similar to what you propose.
Here is the project website. http://www.yale.edu/moran/bees.htmlI could send you Eli's e-mail offline if you wish.
