Could you please explain how the 4.69 multiplier was calculated? I went back to the article cited there by Allen KL et al, but I could not find it there?

This is a figure that was devised by Professor Peter Molan and it accounts for the fact that as the honey diffuses outward from the well it becomes progressively more dilute. I am not sure if Peter ever officially published it (he may have done so in a beekeeping journal, as a lot of his early work was published in this way) or if it just became the accepted standard in the honey world.
