My winter losses seem about normal to me. Started with 440 in June, took 360 to almonds recently. I did make about 30 nucs up in July which are all used up. I am in California foothills; treated for mites with two rounds of OA dribble, one round of formic flash or MAQS, and one two treatment pass of Apiguard. Fed about 6 lbs of pollen sub in September, and about 6 more in January.
