So if bees are so highly sensitive to non-biologically relevant odors
and so easily trained to them, how do you work through protocols to
avoid contamination and mis-signals from operators, equipment,
participants in the trials?
Last fall we had a serious water deficit in the high desert. There are
extensive stands of rabbit brush near our house. They bloomed but did
not secrete nectar. I prepared sugar syrup in a small storage shed for
a few colonies on our rooftop (bears...). There is beekeeping
equipment, tools, stored junk in there, and smokers... Foragers, I
assume searching in the rabbit brush, would find me and buzz around up
to half a mile from the house.
