For research purposes, I am interested in collecting venom. Does anyone know the best way to collect venom from incoming foragers? I once heard of an electrically charged board, that when placed in front of the hive, causes foragers to sting it and in turn collects the venom. I have had bad luck finding any information on this subject. Does anyone have ideas or references? I went out and asked my bees for volunteers willing to donate some venom, but they showed little interest.
