I am thinking of keeping bee specimens. By race, color, size ect. I would like to keep specimens to do comparisons over time. Does anyone have a prescribed methed of preservation? Other than photography is there a way to preserve the color of the bee while preserving the bee. Maybe multiple methods, one for color (encased in platic) , and another of close examination (pinned or in alcohol). Has anyone encased bee speciments in plastic? If so how did appear and age? Thanks, Jim Moore
