You know peter, I reported very high losses, I do however know why, and did
know why early on and I posted my concerns about it early in October...***We
had a pollen famine***. Confirmed famine across the midwest. No pollen in
any of my hives in October...that's why I had losses, and I certainly DID
report that fact both in October my concerns, and my relief that as many as
did make it through. Out of 500 colonies I am down to 140. That's honest
reporting, and I knew it was going to happen and I knew why and documented
it early.
