I found this disappointing on a number of levels.  One obvious point was
the use of only three untreated colonies from one location, one of which
was ejected due to AFB (Where was the beekeeper?), yet they plotted the
results of the remaining two colonies as if the numbers could be meaningful.

Why, if they went to all the expense of the sampling and analysis, would
they do that?

Did they actually prove what they claim?
