It also mentioned that the Institute of Arable Crops Research (IACR) at Rothamsted have used the technique to track both honey and bumble bees on a radar display. I guess that a good starting point for you to contact would be : Prof. Ingrid Williams Institute of Arable Crops Research Entomology and Nematology Department Rothamsted Experimental Station Harpenden Hertfordshire AL5 2JQ England Tel. +44 (0)1582 763133 I hope that this helps, - Paul - -- Paul Walton [log in to unmask] Toddington, Bedfordshire, England.
