We test a variety of hive products and bees for a wide array of
environmental chemicals that occur in beehives (both those normally found
in hives such as terpenes from wood, bee metabolic products, etc.) and
those "foreign" to most hives such as environmental pollutants and
agri-chemicals.

P.S. My students also cut bees for tracheal mites - I supervise, they do
the work as independent contractors, so there is no University overhead
for this service.
