Author uses a bait box with comb & honey, marks bees with coloured chalk, measures hive distance by time to return, 7 minutes = 1/2 a mile there and back. Sometimes uses triangulation. If you can't find a copy I can scan in the story and email to anyone interested. Peter Barrett, Blue Mountains, 50 miles west of Sydney, 'downunder'
