Of interest is a chart of bee kill incidents in Ontario, before and after
the stink about neonic seed treatments.

Note how post-planting incidents dramatically increased as during-planting
incidents decreased.  Can any Ontario beekeepers on the List explain
(backed by evidence) what is occurring?

I'm also curious about the wide variation by operation in percent colony
losses for last winter:

​The question that beekeepers should be asking is how those operations at
the left end of the curve manage their hives to obtain such low loss
rates.  Can any Ontario beekeepers elucidate?
