It seems bees are 'morning people' http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-10892913. Perhaps the research will have some useful application someday but I do wonder why anyone would want to spend so much time and money finding that out!

I know Trog, isn't it amazing what tenuous excuses researchers sometimes find to spend lots of research cash?
Salut Chris!! Et bienvenu a SBAi!
Ca va bien a Provence? (or is it en/dans)
Do you remember showing me a paper on a study of colony losses in France? We Scots have a need to remind ourselves what has already been done internationally. And how well it was done. There's no need to reinvent wheels, nor to construct them using wet newspaper when you need the cart to carry a dozen heather honey laden hives homewards. So they say.

Hello, Chris. I have one colony which flies earlier in the day than the others, despite not getting the sun any earlier. Would have to remove such variables as colony temperament to make it a proper experiment.
We stayed in a Melrose B & B in September where they had proper honey on the table. Turned out the owner had a relative in France who was a beekeeper originally from Scotland.
