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.
