Question

read the sentence
according to a study published in the american bee journal, pesticides can cause as much damage to bee hives as
varroa mites do.

logical, because the evidence is based on beekeepers experiences
logical, because the evidence is based on accepted truths
experimental, because the evidence is based on scientific research

Explanation:

The statement refers to a study published in a journal, which is scientific research. Empirical evidence is based on observation and experimentation (like scientific research). Logical evidence based on experiences (first option) is anecdotal. Logical based on accepted truths (second option) would be more like axioms. Anecdotal based on examples (fourth option) is personal stories.

Answer:

empirical, because the evidence is based on scientific research
