        I think it would significantly *increase* the time it takes
to check my bees if I had to corral each bee into a little "Cone
of Silence"(tm) to check it and somehow remember who has had their turn
and who hasn't. I think I'll stick with the I get close to the hive and
they attack me by the hundreds test...thanks anyway. 8-}
