While I somewhat agree with the above statement, I would like to 
understand the extent of this [alleged] problem myself.  It's always 
best to put a face/name to an issue.

Is there a medium or large beekeeper on this list who has recently 
experienced usually high unexpalined losses and is brave enough to 
come forward and discuss it in this forum?

In my neck of the woods, the only losses that I've heard of can be 
attributed to poor beekeeping practices.
