> It costs money to do a study. I have being trying to raise funds for just
a primary study to determine if it would be worth a 3 to 4 year trial
study.
> I have 3 commercial beekeepers that are prepared to run a 12 month
feeding program.
> Beekeeper 1 only does honey and no hive movements.
> Beekeeper 2 does part pollination part honey production.
> Beekeeper 3 only does pollination.
> The aim of the study is to have hives which are fed only sucrose, one
section only synthetic honey and a control group that isn't fed. Hives are
fed ad lib.
> Monthly inspection are done to check brood and colony health and sample
collections.
> From information gathered, will go to our local university for decision
for a proper protocol research.
