I spent most of yesterday at a DARG meeting at the Newton Abbot apiary
where their meeting room is powered by solar panels not too far from
their bees. I looked at the panels and saw no bee poo.
Surely the intention of the panels is to absorb and convert solar
radiation rather than reflect it. Of course there must be some
reflection or they would be invisible, but it must be the
manufacturers' intention to reduce it to a minimum.
