This was a well designed and executed experiment.  Unfortunately, the doses
of glyphosate used were crazy high, and any negative effect was only
observed at the extreme highest dose applied, and only by an n of 1-3
bees.  Since actual field application rates are at a MUCH lower
concentration, these findings may not have much practical application.
