Popular Science, Febuary 1977 reports:

"BEES AND OTHER pollinators are disappearing
in distressing numbers worldwide, so British
researchers are experimenting with a harmless
way to track the insects and gather informat-
ion that could help preserve them.  A radar
tracking system emits a signal;  an antenna
weighing only three milligrams that's affixed
to a bee reradiates the frequency,  so the
insect's travel can be monitored."  Institute
of Arable Crops Research-Rothamsted, Harpenden,
Hertfordshire, AL5 2JQ, England.

An interesting addition to the effort documented
by Dr. Jerry Bromshenk at University of Montana.
I thought it was a joke? Nevertheless, how far
could this reseach get?
