My comments..
This experiment sounds simple enough but does appeaar to clearly represent where talking about science is much easier than doing science. So just to act as the devils advocate.... 1) where in the US would ou find a pesticide free area that would also maintain 24 hives over a season, 2) how would you determine that combs are contaminated, 3)and with what contaminates and 4) where would one possibly find comb that are pesticide free?
