Jerry's Hive-ID project is a difficult challenge, one made much more difficult
by the lack of any reason for a hobbyist to ever "tag" hives. .. make it a
safe bet that no one will making any boat payments with the profits from
such a venture, if any.

>> Agreed, reason we're letting a commercial beekeeper take the lead.
Also, I've never thought that it would be of much use to hobbiest, other
than equipment recovery.  Our main objective is to try to help out the
folks that make a living running bees (and that's a big assumption --
making a living from bees).  Some of these beekeepers have lost semi-loads
of hives.
