A student at Rose Hulman University is doing a project on CCD. He needs sample bees from as many hives as possible. Here's the email I received.

All,
First off I would like to thank all of you for responding to my sharepoint. As mentioned I previously I am researching the viruses found in bees, so I am in need of somewhere between 20-30 bees (per hive). I would need these bees by Oct. 23rd, at the very latest. The preferred method for sampling would be to place the bees in an air tight container and then simply flash freeze the bees by putting them in a freezer overnight. If you are still willing and able to help me and have further questions please do not hesitate to ask.
Thanks,
Bryant
