Can you please share some of the "evidence" to back this statement up? 

I find it very hard to believe that the majority of hives affected by CCD are not owned by a 
relatively small number of beekeepers who are migratory. 

Are you implying that the numbers of CCD lost hives by non-migratory beekeepers is even 
significant in numbers? 

I'm curious as to what is the migratory vs non-migratory CCD losses in numbers of hives and 
number of beekeepers affected respectively?
