Hi all,
I work part time at a University and as part of that some students are inflicted and afflicted with me as a research project supervisor. It's at the point in the year when I have to come up with titles and rough outlines for research projects which are randomly allocated to students; I will have two student projects and would like to do one on something bee related.
Does anyone have any ideas or questions which I can unleash a (hopefully enthusiastic) student upon, subject to the below fussiness?
I've got a couple of weeks to come up with the outline so if anyone has any good suggestions, please post them below. TIA!

- Ideas would need to be relatively simple as they only have a pathetic 2k words per project and a couple of months to do it in alongside other studies.
- As this involves a university, health and safety likely means I'll need to do most data collection myself if it involves handling bees.
- There may be a budget of up to £300 for the project.
- I would like something which could actually be useful/meaningful to beekeeping as, in my opinion, a lot of research is done because someone needs to do a project for x/y/z reason rather than for purposes which actually benefit the broader population.
- I also prefer the idea of collecting and analysing actual data rather than opinions...
