Curious and suspicious that some recent positive survey
news about sharply reduced colony losses this past winter
has not been getting much press coverage:

Excerpt:
WASHINGTON— Total losses of managed honey bee colonies
from all causes were 21.9 percent nationwide for the
2011/2012 winter, according to the annual survey conducted
by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), the
Bee Informed Partnership and the Apiary Inspectors of
America.
