Nice critique. After reading the initial post, I had no idea what was being
said but held off so Peter could comment. Glad to see others had the same
observation.

Like many here, I read scientific papers all the time, not just beekeeping,
to keep my data base up to speed, It has been a long time since graduate
school. This one has all the buzz words but is not coherent. It was very
difficult to get a rational path to where they were going. Add all the
errors and opinions masked as facts, and you have a poor paper.
