Summary
We began and conducted our experiment as proposed during 2011. As of the writing of this report (03/31/2012) we have concluded data collection and are in the process of compiling and analyzing the data. We remain optimistic that the experiment will produce valuable results that can be disseminated to the beekeeping community. Once our data analysis is complete we will prepare a manuscript for peer review and begin the outreach process.
