It looks like you measured one of mine :>)

I measured thorax width rather than length for no particular reason
why

Wouldn't it be interesting if lots of people from around the would
measure a couple of bees and post the results. A time could be set,
something that's easy to remember. The measurements could be
catagorized by season, type of bee, foundation cell size, etc.

What do you think? The scope would be much wider than one guy making
300 measurements a month.
