Dave, What type of research do most want to see over there? I've been messing around with ideas for how one might one develop a simple test which may determine "The influence of corolla width on foraging preferences between large and small cell honeybees." I have a rough draft drawn up on how the test might be done, but I believe I need to get some imput from others. Would this be something your group might be interested in discussing? I have ideas in creating the corollas, but I am looking for ideas on how one might simulate the nectaries buried deep within inflorescence such as red clover.
