>> I did read of one article, in the last year in ABJ,

Being printed in ABJ in itself was clear and compelling
evidence that what was being said was either not submitted
to peer review, or was unable to withstand peer review in
one or more actual science journals.

Actually many articles in ABJ are subjected by Joe for peer review. All the
Lusby's articles were. Dr. Erickson did many peer reviews for ABJ before
retiring.
Articles which list many people as author are likely to have been  peer
reviewed. You can find out which articles have been by contacting ABJ as
peer review is not talked about in the article.

The commercial beekeeper solution to overwintering on Goldenrod is to simply
feed a couple gallons of fructose (usually with fumidil) which when mixed
with the Goldenrod *usually* solves the over wintering problem.

When you super to obtain the Wildflower honey as I do you harvest the honey
and in certain years lose colonies to poor wintering on only Goldenrod
nectar. I also in certain years lose colonies to varroa trying to obtain
Wildflower honey.

Off to the boats now to gamble. Safer than betting against poor wintering on
Goldenrod honey alone and on not getting untreated colony losses from
varroa.

" gamble with a percentage of your hives and only a percentage of your money
when at the boats or casino's"
