Around the world with all the mites adn problems one must tighten ones belt
and stomach and accept 50% losses. Ive read some places in germany I think
it was that were having up to 80% losses. Yes they are panicking and
scrambling but really this time of year there is little to be done.

Hang in there and just know your only average.  And cross your fingers that
no new pests come our way!
