Chris,
Regarding your interest in Bees for Development ... I might direct
you (and everyone else) to the following Heifer International charity
website.

My sister recently told me that Heifer International has now included
honeybee colonies as a gift selection (we're donating 3 for Christmas). This
org might be able to provide some valuable assistance or statistical data to
help you in your research effort. Just a thought. Hope it helps and Good
Luck. Dave
