Allen, I find that unfortunate, since this has been a much-needed study--a
field validation of OA vapor under "normal" conditions.  I haven't seen
many other studies, other than those by Medhat.

I greatly appreciate.  Due to the standard terseness of scientific writing,
I often need to write to researchers for more details on their experiments.
 Some are willing to share, some not.

And in most any experiment, one finds that one would do it differently the
next time.  For example, in this case, the possibility that dead mites
caught in the lower frames may have skewed your drop numbers.

This is standard, and important.  As a rule, any chart should have enough
info to stand alone, without requiring the reader to first read the text.
  Once you learn to do it in Excel it doesn't take up much space.

Personally, when reading scientific papers, I generally read the abstract,
and then look at the charts.  If the results look interesting, then I read
the discussion, and finally the materials and methods.

Your presentation requires more time than I would normally wish to take.
 Hence, my suggestions for improvement.
