Problem is it is difficult to tell what is opinion and what has gone
through review. I was the editor and publisher of our State newsletter.
It was a bit of a surprise to find one of our articles lifted in total
and in ABJ with no attribution or any request from them to publish it.

I was meticulous in getting approval from any source to publish their
articles or ideas (even posters on the beelist), so it took me back a
bit when ABJ did that. I was still new to beekeeping so thought ABJ was
the more authoritative of all the general beekeeping journals. They
finished that for me and I eventually dropped them and stayed with
Gleanings/Bee Culture.
