I live in the upper midwest and had poor over winter success last year with 35%-%40 winter losses
with lots of dysentery .
This year winter is much colder and longer but looks like a 90% survival is shaping up. The only thing
I did different was use fumidil. I wrapped 300 hives last fall.
How are other beekeepers faring this winter? I recall the media reported large winter losses last year
in the NE region, New York, Ohio, Ontario and Pennsylvania etc.
