I'll tell you what I've got going on, I've got a wild or feral bee hive working my bait box. I've got a very good course on the bees, they're leaving the bait at a bearing 260*. I marked a bee, from the time it leaves my bait, unloads and shows up at my bait again, it's almost exactly 8 minutes.
Without moving my bait closer to the hive, or trying to get a second angle, I'm just curious as to the range of the hive.
I have a fairly good idea of where the hive is located, because of the terrain. But I'd rather just be able to find the hive, sitting here at the computer using Google Earth.
Does anyone have a breakdown as far as feet per minute or yards per minute? Or any guideline of distance per minute round trip?
I first started this little project back in November, all together I have 3 different hives working my bait. I've pretty much put bee hunting on hold until warmer weather.
