Is your study based on Australian native bees or on the european honey bee?
Shouldnt we have more studies based around our native bees? Or is it because of the scare in the collapse of the honey bee pollination that we look towards the more efficent pollinatiing species in that of the european honey bees?
A slightly off topic question,
In regards to using smoke to "settle" the bees during the maintenance of bee hives does this have any known effects on a bee colony? Has there been any studies to suggest why it actually calms them per say? Would this even be a topic of interest.
Oh and if youre looking for volunteers let me know! I am in the area and keen to gain experience!
