Surveys and hobby beekeepers

From comments you have written in the past, I assume that you mean that because most hobbyists are inexperienced, more of their hives die compared to those of commercials?  I know hobby beekeepers who have kept bees for more than 30 years.  How many years of beekeeping experience are necessary to avoid biased data? Or is there some other reason you think hobby hive data is biased?


I don't remember if the Bee Informed survey had a question asking how many year's experience each respondent has.
