Sorry about the garbled text. Corrected, it should read:

> Remebee-I + IAPV treated hives still produced 30 - 300% more honey than the IAPV-only treated hives in PA and FL respectively

The second figure, 300%, is not supported in the text with actual weights. They give only a bar graph. The differences on the graph appears to be a couple of kg over 6 weeks in Florida (Florida- April to June 2008) , whereas the Pennsylvania figures are given in terms of actual weights and the trial runs for four months (Pennsylvania-May to October 2008). 

The omission of the figures for the weight difference in Florida is rather odd, and the graph has the caption: "Honey production in control colonies and IAPV colonies were not significantly different", which seems to say that the artificial infection of colonies with IAPV *did not affect them* in an adverse way. Overall, the results seemed a bit over-hyped.
