Hi Gavin & all

I have concerns that glue, transponders and handling to affix aerials 
may have effects, but to be realistic any of these possible causes can 
only have random effects, that might introduce 'noise' into the results.

I do not believe there is any likelihood that any of these 
'interferences' can cause all the bees concerned to fly in any 
particular direction (or alter their behaviour in any manner other than 
randomly).
