Hello Peter and all,
This is perhaps too vague but are there any general guidelines to successful applied honey bee research?  Minimum number of hives per treatment, genetic makeup of the hives, equalizing hives before treatment, proper controls, minimum amount of experience with beekeeping etc? What pet peeves do you all have when it comes to the various research projects you run across? What makes you throw up your hands in disgust as opposed to pricking up your ears?  A lot of times corners are cut to save money but in the end money is not saved as the results are inconclusive. 
Thanks,
Kristine
