All of us can produce anecdotes based on our own observations, but few
are large scale enough to replicate an observation many times over so
that it becomes a scientifically valid result from which useful
conclusions can be drawn. Those who are large scale beekeepers are
probably too busy, or too concerned with keeping their accountant
happy, to spare the time and resources to experiment.
Is it possible that we could use BeeL to organise widespread
experiments/observations that, through all using the same methods and
recording the observations in the same way could result in useful
scientific data being produced?
