> I was hoping that someone or a few folks on this list might be able to help direct me to some commercial beekeepers

Hi Janet.  Welcome to BEE-L.

I hope that people help you with introductions, not only to beekeepers,
but to researchers, including some who are outside the mainstream.

There has been a lack of real, incisive journalism on this topic,
something you may have already noticed if you have looked up some of the
articles cited here lately.

If your previous work is any indication of what we can expect when you
are done, I am very much looking forward to your perspective.
