In this month's ABJ:
Generally, the total loss experienced by commercial beekeepers
(managing more than 500 hives) was the lowest at 31.2%
when compared to hobbyist (managing 1 to 50 colonies; 38.0%)
and sideline (managing 51 to 500 colonies; 35.4%) beekeepers.
However, the average loss reported by each group was approximately
the same.
